| Message | Mr Speaker, let us remind the House that, regards Article I, there are certain restrictions. Only those television channels that define themselves as adult entertainment channels may show sexually explicit content all day long. Mainstream channels must wait until the watershed of 9pm before being able to do so. Mr Speaker, let us not treat adults as children. |

| 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. |
