| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Nationalists reveal the true reason behind their Socailism - not to distribute wealth to the workers, but to prevent it falling into the hands of the industrious and hard-working believers who easily out-perform the braying, entitled nationalist mob who rely on state support and handouts to make up for their secular hedonistic fecklessness. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We are distributing wealth to the workers. Hosians are free to establish Democratic Workers' Councils like everyone else. We don't want them to be owning large companies that they buy with money they get from foreign governments. -- Andre Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Minister of Trade & Industry, Vice President of Lodamun |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Indeed we will own large companies - that's what happens when you work hard and don't waste your time drinking yourself silly on shift, wasting time because the "Democratic Workers Council" makes sure you'll never use your job because every one else on it is a mindless Nationalist-Socialist drone who'd prefers pretending to work to actual work. |

| 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. |
