| Message | We find the arrogance, the greediness and the power hungry attitude of the Labour Party a disgrace to Congress and to the nation. We don't want to break up our friendship, but you can't just say that you are the most popular party in all of Beluzia. We understand that you had 200+ seats, but that was when our nation only had 3 or 4 parties, where each party had 200 or so seats each and had the nation's best Cabinet seats. Now we have 6 or so and you are the smallest party, so what do you expect? And to be honest with you, our party thinks that every party should manage large and small departments in government. One party cannot just have the best. That is favouritism. Every party has the best ideas, the smartest people, it doesn't mean that you need Foreign Affairs or Internal Affairs or Finance. I bet that your party has the best foreign relations, finance, education, internal affair minds there is. So stop being a crybaby with a temper tantrum and just live with it. That is not the meaning of democracy. Democracy is not where a person takes control of everything major and leaves other parties with nothing. Again, that's favouritism. And there is this thing known as optimism. Who knows? You might be propelled to more seats so in the meantime, just stick with what you have. Stop complaining. That is not the meaning of the Beluzian Dream |

| Message | So please think about the people. The PRRP is a big tent party and we listen to everyone, no matter whether other parties have differing ideologies. That is not progress. That instead is partisanship and corruption, thinking that one party should just work for their own support base. You can never propel yourself to success like this. But if you want to be like the NPP, who was disregarded for every Cabinet proposal just because of their annoying filibustering, delaying tactics, partisanship way of thinking, and who was eventually forced to disband because their President was incompetent and weak, facing protest by the UPB and the PRRP because they didn't answer a single question posed to them in the very first session of PQT under President Skandel, then fine with all the parties and the nation. But if you don't want that to happen, then please please please please THINK OF THE PEOPLE. The people is more important than power. That is what causes political partisanship and people to vote within their own party lines. A nation can never progress if everyone has that mindset. We were once like that in Davostag and when we were known as the BPDP, but we gradually realised that what was making us fall behind is because we were too partisan. We changed and look at what its turned us into, a one ideology party to one that wishes to encompass everyone, from far left to progressive to moderates, to centrists, to center left, to center right, to social conservative and even to far right. We don't care about power anymore. We don't care about popularity. As long as we have a mandate that can create change, we are fine with it. We care about the people and the direction of this great nation. SO PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR VOTE. |

| Message | We find the comments of the PRRP unproffesional and down right disrespectfull, not once did we say we wanted top positions in the congress, we merely said hbeing given two small roles is unfair given or past success' in higher positions. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We apologise for our unprofessional comments. We are just angry at parties saying that Cabinet proposals are disgraceful. We need strong and stable leadership. So again, we ask the Labour Party to think of the people. Other parties have been successful in these positions when you disbanded. A party doesn't always have to get what they achieved well in. You can achieve a lot even in small roles. Our party was placed in Infrastructure and Transport for some years and what did we do? We formed a 800 billion BEL infrastructure plan which create jobs, we improved transport systems by creating more monorails and sky trains, easing traffic etc etc. |
