| Message | The Tea Party has decided to block this proposal in the same manner the Socialists and the Libservative Conservacrats blocked the Seventeenth Popular Demand Bill. We're not willing to compromise, the size of Parliament needs to be drastically reduced too. |

| Message | We wholly agree with the Tea Party on this matter |

| Message | Oh how sad, you're not even allowing a bill that you agree with to pass just because *Gaps* "The Socialists" proposed it. |

| Message | Its not because you proposed it, its because you blocked a similar proposal just because it would reduce the number of seats in Parliament. I don't know why you'd oppose such a measure.. maybe because you'd lose seats but that would only be proportionally. If the SDP is going to be partisan, then that gives us the right to be partisan too. |
