| Message | If article 3, and 4 are removed, I will support this article. First of all, why end child labour and 16 year olds are just starting to get hired? Why cut corporation tax too low? You expect citizens to make up for the lost income? Are you trying to give us a budget deficit and increase the national debt? |

| Message | We can raise the minimum wage and make companies pay staff more after lowering corpiration tax. Companies will be able to pay their staff more and afford to open new branches and employ more people if they have more money. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
| Random quote: “The people's war isn't just a war of destruction, it is also a war of construction. We will build new facilities, new hospitals, new farms. We will seek to improve the lives of the people around us. This struggle will be as costly as the struggle against the bourgeois army, and indeed will be even more damaging to the enemy.” - Comrade X, former Hulstrian politician |
