| Message | OCC: The point of all these bills is not for them to pass, far from it I know very well that they will fail, they are merely being used to get the public acquainted with my party's ideology nothing more. I will role play effectively to my own standards as of now getting bills out as fast as possible is the right course to get my party on the national stage. After I establish myself with several seats my style will change. |
