| Message | Our party has nearly a majority of the votes and support of 49.7% of the people. We represent the people in this country and we will not let a party with 0 seats get the privilege of controlling the population. The people want a Conservative party and we support conservative ideas. OOC: The US is an example and yes it is the best country in the world. I used it to illustrate a point in how 2 year terms work in real life. |
