| Message | Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I were a right wing nutjob. I would proudly tell everyone how subhuman women are, how I like to force my religion upon others,and how basic freedoms like sexuality should be decided for us. I don't know how I would sleep at night. Senator Orianna Malisius Party Chairwoman,PP |

We will seek to improve the lives of the people around us. This struggle will be as costly as the struggle against the bourgeois army, and indeed will be even more damaging to the enemy.” - Comrade X, former Hulstrian politician |
