| Message | I'd like to enquire why the Lib-Libs keep making proposals against their own beliefs. It's not a method of trying to win more seats due to the game system, is it? |

| Message | How is it cheating? As there is no campaigning present in the game, this is the best substitute. Anyway, you're more likely to benefit from it than my party. |
