| Message | "The crisis in the government has nothing to be surprised, as the newspapers would have us believe. The government holds a majority from the beginning about fake, made only on the counts of the seats in the Senate. In order to justify their power, the parties of the majority have always said the opposite and conflicting opinions, but not disbanded. Their line is: what is important is to have the chair! FIP is a long time ally of the WP and UP, but theirs is a vision of the common non-compatible, some Democrats and other royalists to the marrow. We ask that the Executive now be responsible for leading the country towards new elections, no coups. In the future, think better of their alliances, formed BEFORE the election and not after! So this is our bill, to have governments more coherent and serious. For the glory of Solentia!"

| 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. |
