| Message | Me and my comrades are having a deja-vu over this. Its now the second attempt to put self-evident human rights into Question by leaving the decision to implement them to local governements. Its a try to outdo Individual freedoms by Devolution. My comrads and me hope other fellow parties see through this foil. |

| 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. |
