| Message | Member of Congress, It seems left wing politics in Baltusia is in a state of flux. Some parties are dropping like flies while others remain dormant for years and no longer take part in debates. It is a shameful and pitiful reflection on how far the radical left has fallen. Fortunately the same cannot be said for democracy - that is why we had one of the highest turnouts in years at the last election, who overwhelmingly voted for me to be president and returned the Patriotic Party as the largest party in Congress. It is a privilege that people continue to support our Right Wing Alliance policies and turn their back on the radical left. Therefore with this strong mandate in mind, I propose to ensure that the effective and stable government the people have voted for does not get pushed off track by the failing parties and their underhand tactics. Under my presidency I urge members of the Right Wing Alliance government coalition NOT to heed any Early Election proposals from the left if parties deactivate. They will undoubtedly say we need to stabilise Congress. No, what they are actually mean is - one of our allied parties has capitulated and we want to use that as an excuse for another election so we might grab a few more seats. This kind of chaos is intolerable and something the people of Baltusia have no stomach for. As President, Commander in Chief and Minister for Defence I have ordered the army - supported by the paramilitary Patriotic Security League - to stand by in case any anarchy is forthcoming from the radical left over this decision: they invariably riot when they do not get their way. Any unacceptable behaviour of this nature will be dealt with. In effect, I am taking these measures to preserve democracy and uphold the patriotic values of our great nation rather than let the radical left exploit our system and the constitution. May God Bless Baltusia. President Octavius Black |

| Message | You are evil, these are all lies, you just want to turn the country into a one party style state and stop us from putting forwards bills to stabilise the country, you're so insecure that you would remove our freedoms just to make you more likely to hold power and turn baltusia into a right wing totalitarian military style dictatorship, you disgust me "president" |

| Message | Ms Benn, please! Twice you have called me evil in the matter of a few minutes and I refute your claim regarding a one party state most adamantly. This is a request to two other parties - to endorse my proposal - it is democracy in action. However, my sole purpose here was to stop your bloc trying to call early elections and I see that my bill has had the effect of getting the Socialist Party to vote for the first time in months. Therefore, we are now safe from you being able to use that tactic... for a few years at least. President Black |

| Message | We assure President Black our support in this matter. The reorganized PDDU now Baltusian Republic Party endorses this movement. Also, Ms Benn, watch your tone you are talking to the president. Francisco de la Vega Republican Chairman |

| Message | Thank you Chairman de la Vega, I am glad your party can see what I am trying to do to maintain democracy in the face of the exploitative tactics of the radical left. President Black |

| Message | Oh so we're exploitative now |
