| Message | Mr Speaker, To our allies from the ASD and NPL, we do not necessarily oppose reforms, even to these laws, at all. However, we believe reforms should be discussed and debated before being proposed to vote. This is a blanket repeal of the communists' bill. We will propose such repeals for every communist bill that passes until it is repealed. We strongly suggest the ASD and NPL support this bill, we can always discuss further reforms later on. I yield. |

| 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. |

Everybody else profits. Soldiers are the ones losing their lives, losing friends, having their lives disrupted. The real victims of American imperialism are its soldiers." - Fred Gardner |
