| Message | What a cruel bill that targets the working class to the benefit of the bourgeoisie. Typical of the capitalist parties when they win a brief victory in the class struggle. |

This is in order to give other players a chance to query the proposed changes, if they wish to do so. Moderation may be approached for advice on a proposed change, but any advice proffered should always be understood under the provisio that no final decision will be made until at least 48 hours after the request has been formally submitted for approval. |
