| Message | Why is it the policy of the ACoL to subsidise the rich? The poor are already well catered for in the current system. The only consequence of this legislation will be to fund the education of the wealthy at the taxpayer's expense. |

| 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. |
