| Message | We find this bill to be not only the absolute worst thing that could happen to Dorvik, but also to be downright idiotic. We apologise if our actions to attempt to free up the economy are viewed as "greedy" by the SWP, but we will not apologise for this. |

| 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. |
