| Message | ANd how is such a "neutral body" developed? Too often, it is beholden to government or corporate interests. Additionally, who can determine the emotional strain of having one's home taken and destroyed? |

| 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. |
