| Message | OOC: it's necessary to procede with phase 2? A treaty may modify directly a legislation? |

| Message | OOC: Yes, those treaties affect our legislation directly; some proposals are barred as long as we are part of those treaties. I'm not sure if I understand the other question, but the constitutional amendments would be abolishing the PM for example. Which you agreed to earlier, but if you're having second thoughts that's also fine ;) just let me know before I go proposing it. |

| 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. |
