| Message | Well....seeing as this bill has managed to undemocratically win despite the majority of the parties opposing it, Darnussia is now a dictatorship controlled by fascists and racist policies. Hopefully the upcoming elections will return democracy to Darnussia. |

| Message | You call this democracy... You, the DLA, and the CDP have turned Darnussia into a theocratic, homophobe, fascist dictatorship. Our party will now dedicate itself to ending this oppression of the Darnussian people, and we hope that all other Left parties will be with us in countering this. |

| Message | We like these actions, with the exception of 4 and 5 because we believe with 4 that God has commanded us to care for the world which He has created (Genesis) and 5...well...Gambling has never led to anything good... But that's only 2 out of 16 so we've voted FOR. |
