| Message | You don't understand. Manifestos are passed, not in the hope that they pass, but so that your politcal positions are clearer and they are the way YOU want them to. Voting and introducing proposals are the only way to get the votes in elections of the people YOU want. |

| Message | I understand. It is the CPD that does not understand that manifestos are a waste of the time of this assembly. |

| Message | So we are no longer allowed to "waste" our own time to make our political positions the way we want them because of you fascists? And don;t say it isn't fascist, because it is. It is limiting democracy. |

| Message | Do you even know how the political position meter works in this game? If you introduce bills that you want, then the meter changes the way you want it. This is a way of implementing your fascist regime! The country is good enough the way you want it, so you are trying to limit the powers of other parties by stopping them passing laws. Fascists! The CPD will not stand for such tyranny in an already pretty undemocratic nation. |

| Message | Those who vote in favour of this should be hung from the neck until they are dead for treason. |

| Message | OOC: ITS A GAME! WE'RE NOT WASTING YOUR TIME AT ALL. WE ARE USING OUR MANIFESTOS TO MAKE THE POLITICAL POSTIONS CHANGE, NOT SO IT CAN PASS! THE POLITICAL METER JUDGES HOW MANY VOTES YOU GET AT THE ELECTION. If this passes, I am going to break the rule on no cursing or swearing. If you are going to try and limit my democracy, I am going to show you I will not back down to your fascist regime. |

| Message | We fascists are in favour of this fascist regime. Fascist. And just because we fascists don't think fascist was said enough... fascist. |

| Message | Why could you possibly be in favour of this? |

| Message | CPD, communism is not quite democratic.. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
