| Message | I disagree entierely. If a school chooses to pray then thats fine. If the parents have a problem, they can address it with the school. Theres no need to breath 'political correctness' down the throats of our children. |

| 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. |
