| Message | "In what way are the Throne of Immeressen hypocrites? We produced a fairly comprehensive 'freedom' bill just recently, and watched everyone equivocate about how they didn't mean THAT kind of freedom. If there's ONE party in Likatonia that is true to it's stance, it's the Throne. We always said we are pro-maximum freedom on social issues, and minimum on military, industrial and commercial issues. There ARE hypocrites in the Convocation, but they're not in the Throne of Immeressen contingent." --Avar Akkad Avara |

| Message | "For once we agree with the Red Tory party. Hypocrisy smells bad, and we should eradicate it from the Convocation. Fortunately, two of the original five protagonists have done that work for us. And the People of Likatonia seem to fairly consistently punish the other three." --Avar Akkad Avara |

| Message | 'For once we agree with the Red Tory party. Hypocrisy smells bad, and we should eradicate it from the Convocation.' Let the record show that the ToI wishes to eradicate their own party from government. We should make a holiday for today. Something along the lines of Freedom Day. |

| Message | "When did we mention removing our own party? We said 'hypocrisy', and we've been consistent. THe Traditional Conservative Party were hypocrites, and the Liaktonian People destroyed them. The Pwnada party were hypocrites, and the Likatonian People destroyed them. The PEA parties are consistently shown to be hypocrites, and they just keep falling from the radar". --Avar Akkad Avara |
