| Message | Mr Speaker, We the Liberal Democrats believe that the states should have equal representation, regardless of region population, this will make a fairer society. We also believe campaigns are never publicly financed, as this creates unfairness for the smaller parties; Campaigns are never publicly financed, it makes government fair and not biased in anyway. We believe that the Head of State should be able to give Titles of Nobility, the titles will have no powers and will be awarded to people that have done good work to help the communities. In Article 4 we believe that Local governments should decided, as they will know what would be best for that area. Article 5 and 6, Are there to make a better tomorrow, the children are the future and should be given every chance they can get, Also students should be tested on their skills and knowledge.

| 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. |
