| Message | Is 48 fine, or how about 42? If it is 42 there will be one election every (real) week. |

| Message | This is why inactive parties should be deleted, the vote hangs in the balance and as they probably will not vote on it it cant be passed even if they both agreed on it! |

| 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. |
