| Message | This absolute insanity! And you call us undemocratic!? We need more seats, not less. There are millions of socialist supporters -- very passionate supporters demonstrating in the streets right now -- and you wish to exclude them from the Bundestag entirely? This is awful! This will only increase the furious actions of the socialist supporters and cause more terrible violence to occur, not reduce their frequency. You absolutely disgust me and we will not stand for this. Volker Wittke VP Leader |

| Message | This will only cause the millions of reasonable, non-extremist socialist supporters to join them in the violence. Please, for the sake of our nation, do not do this! Volker Wittke VP Leader |

| Message | Herr Wittke, however irrelevant to this Act, we would like to provide an answer to those "on the streets." Quite frankly, those on the streets are nothing more but criminals The socialists are taking the side of the criminals and want to let the criminals out of jail to terrorize the decent citizens. The socialists are conducting a political struggle against our productive, capitalist civilization. The attack against the police is an attack against our way of life. In this political struggle the slogan "no justice -- no peace" has been upheld by the socialists as a civil right to disobey the police. Rudolf Stranz Chairman VFD |

| Message | We absolutely condemn those few who take violence. We represent the majority of peaceful socialists who do not. We do not want to let the criminals out of jail. We are in a political struggle, but only to save our nation from fascists and anarchists -- democratically. Do not confuse us with those on the streets. Volker Wittke VP Leader |

| 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. |
