| Message | This is by no means a New Deal, but rather an Old Deal that goes back to the overly laissez-faire and unregulated mess that was antiquated economics. A true New Deal is the policy in place. This is a disgrace to the name New Deal. Absolutely not. Emily Triplett Majority Leader |

| Message | The Free Liberals continue to lie to the Lourennian public with their party name and their horrid mistakes reflect their miserable loss in the most recent elections. Mlle. Triplett |

| Message | First thing I would like to say that election results fluctuat, which is normal in a democracy, and for the record, we have a much better result that the leftists. Another point I would like to adress about the left is that they contradict themselves when talking about our Party, the Free Liberals. One one hand they say, I will quote their leader "continue to lie to the Lourennian public with their party name", saying that we aren't Liberal. But on the other she admitted that we are Liberal, and standing for laissez-faire and "unregulated mess". I also want to say that the leftist claim to be liberal, they aren't. But I am not insinuate that the lourenian people are voting for her just because of their name, like she did. |
