| Message | "Our party regards this as a clear attack on the moral value of this state. For years now, our proud nation has stood firm against anything that would cause controvesy. Surely children of Solentia should not be subjegated to this sort of perverted rubbish. On the second article, we find the foreign marriage section quite unappropriate. All foreign marriages should be subject to Solentian law whilst the couple are in Solentia. Any other arrangement would place this Senate's Sovereignty in jeapordy." -Shadow Secretary of State for Justice: Matteo Trulli |

| Message | We believe strongly as a party in equality, civil rights, freedoms and liberties and think this legislation is indeed a very good idea on the basis it will promote such issues and give people the rights they deserve. Theresa Liver, Justice Spokesperson |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
