| Message | The second and third articles are antichristian, and the first article breaks the separation of Church and State that Christ called for. All in all, no Christian could support this abomination, so we must oppose. |

| 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. |
