| Message | While I can agree with Articles I and II I cannot agree with Article III. Our party dislikes hunting but fishing is vital for our nation with us having numerous fishing grounds. Are the seaside cities and towns that depend on the fishing economy to implode economically because of this silly law? OOC: I love fish. Salmon... yummy! |

| Message | Your party is in the government, so we trust that you will ignore "grandfathered in" fishing operations when enforcing the new laws. -Joseph Hunter, Chancellor, Supporters of Science in Design |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
