| Message | This bill brings up questions of federalisation, which have been voted down several times now. Additionally there are issues here the DKLP has voted to be enacted. Out of all the Articles only number one could get our approval but that would probably get us strong diplomatic responses by our allies. Rainer Ranschwili Deputy Chair MRP-Fraktion |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
