| Message | We think that the event organisers can show them to the door and there is no need for fines, unless the protesters break a current law, but it will be covered in that law. |

| Message | Well the reason why i brought up this bill is because it seems to be a trend lately that everytime someone speaks at a college the stage gets rushed and the guest speaker gets shouted down or threatened. My party believes that this is unconstitutional and a threat to free speech. If something is not done about this I fear that free speech will become meaningless and people will start refusing to hear the other side. |

| Message | We agree with the Classical Liberals. Such disruptive behavior would be covered by laws against disruption of public order, trespassing and assault, to name a few. |

| 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. |
