| Message | I realize we aren't in the worse shape, but with the economy being either really good, and having a surplus to being awful with a 200,000,000 in the hole. This will help us to keep a surplus constantly. |

| 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. |
