| Message | I take it the Conservative Party also sanctions slavery and the murder of adulterers as the Bible condones? We think logic, reason and compassion are far superior guides for our laws than the second hand hear-say of an invisibile sky-god. |

| Message | "The CMP is dissapointed that these proposals look set to pass. However the proximity to the election will make it interesting just how confident the public are that they wish to keep this arrangement. I would however reccomend that no gay couple that are married bother throwing away their marriage certificate just yet. It may well be recognised in future." Luciano Rambaudi, Sen. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
