| Message | Stance bills, particularly before elections, are little more than the JLC to replace all the term-length work that the others do. As one quote in the site says, "voters quickly forget what a man says". |

| Message | Mixed bloody bills. we will vote for this because it wont pass. There are articles in this bill that we could never condone but due to game mechanical exploitation brought by your arrogance we cannot afford not to vote for it. |
