| Message | Mr. Speaker, How ironic is this, coming from a party that has shown how extremely religious it is, and its clear desire for a Theocratic state. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, It is saddening that the LDP is not able to judge our moderate religious policies realistic. We are for more religious freedom but opposed to any form of (religious) radicalism. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, it is the responsibility of players to ensure the candidate boxes on their Party Overview screens are filled in with appropriate names. 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. |
