| Message | The poll mentioned by the party only shows a 29% support for the carry of non-lethal weapons, which on the other hand means that 71% of the responders support the armament of the police with weapons. Furthermore since the military and the police are so interconnected it can hardly be expected of the soldiers not to carry guns. King, Rav Aluf, Prime Minister and leader of the DYP |

| 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. |
