| Message | With a free market there is no incentive to mistreat animals, as damaged goods do not sell as highly. There is no need for this regulation and it is a waste of money. On the off chance that animal abuse is found out, a private charity (yes, that's right: a non-government service) can handle it. There is no shame in letting an organisation outside of government control take care of regulating trade, where necessary. |

| Message | It is laughable and pathetic that the Lib-Libs are proposing reform action only days after Bills have been a landslide in favour of our proposals, or a landslide against theirs. Maybe concetrate on policies rather than bitter and childish rebuttal Bills? |

| Message | "It is laughable and pathetic that the Lib-Libs are proposing reform action only days after Bills have been a landslide in favour of our proposals, or a landslide against theirs. Maybe concetrate on policies rather than bitter and childish rebuttal Bills?" So taking action against the only laws that are wrong with this nation is laughable? Sitting there and pretending to be socialist while taking no action against the near-rampant capitalism of our nation is laughable. I would suggest that you stop criticisng our actions and try to repay your promises to your voters by getting off your ass and trying to change something important, rather than implementing minor reforms because your scared you'll lose. |

| Message | This party has voted for every single economy antiact proposed by the Lib-Libs avocating nationalisation and socialism. It seems your party has no grasp of issues, and are hardly helping the electorate by promoting Bills which you stand AGAINST. We know that socialism ill not be passed with objections of capitalist parties such as yourselves, and we have our feet firmly on the ground. The RSA has come second in the last three or four elections and have won the Gevaro province by clear majorities - and this proves that those initially voting for us are still confident in what we are doing. |

| Message | So, basically your saying that people voted for you. Well done. That's quite an insightful leap. |
