| 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 |

| Random fact: "Treaty-locking", or ratifiying treaties that completely or nearly completely forbid any proposals to change laws, is not allowed. Amongst other possible sanctions, Moderation reserves the discretion to delete treaties and/or subject parties to a seat reset if this is necessary in order to reverse a treaty-lock situation. |
