| Message | Pure opportunism. Please, tell me if I'm wrong but wasn't this something the KP accused my of, a few decades ago? That's the problem with self proclaimed ethical behaviour. You have to stick to it yourself. And you failed, again. Well, enjoy your moment of victory. [Applaud from the SED benches], Heinrich Grun SED Fraktionsvorsitzender |

| Message | Excuse me while I yawn at Herr Grun's bloviating. (Riotous laughter from the conservative benches.) We're opposing the call for new elections for the time being, because we believe that the legislative business already begun ought to be finished. We will support new elections as soon as the voting window for current legislation has expired. If you cared so much about new elections, why did you wait until the legislative window for your own bills was about to finish, before proposing new elections, Herr Grun? - Kerstin Wittershagen, Vorsitzende der Konservativen Partei. |

| Message | [OOC: In Particracy game terms, I mean that the KP intends to switch its vote on this proposal to "for" after August 3291, if it hasn't already passed by then.] |

| Message | Apparentlly, Frau Wittershagen admits KP's hypocratism! [laughter from SED MP's) It's shamefull that the KP is just using their temporary majority to increase their chance of having bills passed.... That's what we call opportunism, no excuse....... Heinrich Grun SED Fraktionsvorsitzender |

| Message | To the mathematically-challenged Herr Grun (chortles from opposition MPs), we do not have a majority. Just because the socialists see themselves as a homogenous bloc, doesn't mean that the Freiheitspartei and the Konservative Partei see themselves in that way. And unlike you, we aren't trying to form a governing coalition in order to subvert the will of the people as your party has done in the past. Your repeated overuse of the word "hypocrisy", in any situation where a party doesn't do what you want, shows only that you have a tenuous grasp over the Dundorfian language. ("Hear, hear," shout the conservative benches.) - Kerstin Wittershagen, Vorsitzende der Konservativen Partei. |

| Message | My apologies, I appear to have done my colleague a disservice: he did not use the word "hypocrisy", but instead invented a new word, "hypocratism". It appears that Herr Grun is the perfect example of everything that is wrong with Dundorf's education system. (Riotous laughter from the conservative benches, and several government MPs snigger as Herr Grun looks on in embarrassment.) - Kerstin Wittershagen, Vorsitzende der Konservativen Partei. |
