| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Unity Party also supports this bill. It is important that every party has the ability to propose a coalition so the President could not abuse their power and propose a coalition that is not in the interest of Hutori.

| Message | OOC: Just a quick message about the number of proposals a party can introduce. The thing is, a long time ago in Hutori, we use to have a very high quotas of 42 proposal and the problem was that some parties would completly spam the game with ridiculously large bills. These kind of huge bills would completly break the game because of their exagerated influence on the political positions and visibility of all parties. This si why we have kept this quotai Hutori. Even if there is no real RP justification for it, it's rpeferable that we keep it as low as possible to prevent futur players from utterly destroying the gameplay. |
