| Message | Mr Speaker, indeed the people have spoken, and delivered a majority to those parties in favor of the free market. The fascists seem not to have done the electoral math, because if they did they'd know that the people rejected economic interventionism. Erin Woodward MP Member for Elbian Minister of Trade and Industry |

| Message | Mr Speaker, If the people rejected us how did we manage to win a plurality of seats? The fact is people are tired of the RFR led corporate dominance where even basic services are whored out to corporations to fatten their bottom lines at the expense of hard working Dranish persons. We are the only party actively promoting a fair, and prosperous economy that benefits Dranes and isn't under the control of multi-national corporations or a government that for all intents and purposes is owned by corporations.

| 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. |
