| Message | "the unneccessary elections" - This shows how out of touch and decrepit the old parties are, not even believing that the glorious people of Beluzia should be represented. Members of the Syndicalist Party should know that one Assembly or Cabinet has no bind on the next. We will judge these bills on their merits, not on fickle attempts to subvert democracy. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
