| Message | When you send this to vote, we will not accept this. Our party hates the idea of raising government salaries. We believe this for 3 reasons: 1. Gives us a bad image. 2. Takes money that can be used elsewhere. 3. Makes greedy people want to be in government. We prefer wise, caring, and loving people in government. |

| Message | The Liberty Party now wants to vote against its own bill. However we will not in order to save face. |
| Date | 05:21:17, November 14, 2014 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Salaries |
| Message | We will not support a bill that increases the wages of those in parliament. Parliamentary wages are paid for out of public funds and it would be irresponsible of us to abuse that privilege. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
