| Message | Mr. Speaker, While we don't really agree with the proposed changes, many of them are preferable to the current policies, seeming to lead to less segregation than currently exists. We will vote in favor on that mindset, though we will want to push for complete abolition of segregation in the future. Cameron Mideen, GPP Leader |

| 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. |
