Message | Mr. Speaker, We do not agree with much of this bill's articles and will vote against it. However, we would not mind revisiting the article on casinos and the one on higher education tuition if they were introduced on their own bills in the future.

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. |
