| Message | It is good that It Hwæt xD has seen the benefits of returning to the days of a socialist confederation, and we are proud to say that we through our lobbying are responsible for this. However this is pure opportunism on their part in an attempt to win back the support of the people but the people are smarter than that and will say NO |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
