| Message | These policies do not need to belong together, and again the Alliance does not even need to consider voting in favour or the Bill as soon as a single proposal is found to be unsupportable. Is the CML willing to consider debating which of these proposals COULD be supported and separating them out into another Bill before this one is put to the vote?? |

| Message | Ah - too late! Guess we'll have to vote no then - even though there are some proposals worthy of debate! |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
