| Message | This is bad. We cannot allow this to happen. Voting is a privelage that criminals will loose. Prison is punishing not about education. |

| Message | That's why we propose that ex criminals get their right to vote back when they stay out of trouble. Also should we help them to find a job when getting out of prison. Everyone deserves a second chance |

| Message | By giving them education we can help them get a job (so we get tax revenues from them) and help them rehabilitate |

| 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. |
