| Message | The CAI have betrayed the Leftist League with their support of the FFP's reforms. Now we cannot retify the Leftist League treaty because the FFP recent reforms have taken us out of the neccessary legislative status. If they are a true Communist Party then they have to support this act! If they do not then they are simply a sham party. |

If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
