| Message | We will be voting no. Why does the People's Party want to take away from the People? Let them have their pills that gives them more life and let them have free healthcare for when they are sick. Let's not make the middle class pay exorbitant amounts of crowns for their drugs and let's certainly not create fancy hospitals that charge you an arm and a leg for simple healthcare service. People's Party? Ha, more like the Aristocratic Party. |

| Message | Check the results again. Only 86.64% of the people voted and of those people, only 27.74% voted for you which is only 13,115,476 out of 47,286,607. Oops... People's Party is wrong again! Go eat some cavier and let the real workers take care of the country like we always do. |

| Message | Oh btw private healthcare is better for the people MMP. Free public healthcare can only run and not be a waste of cash if there are big taxes to cover it. Taxes hurt the middle and lower classes. OOC: And unlike the US, this bill would still pay for all low-income drugs, and a good amount of anyone who can afford drugs. In the end taxes are lower, and the people aren't hurt as you claim. Reread your party name, and read mine again. Now look at who people vote for. Point said. |

| Message | I never said my party was winning nor did I even imply it happened always. Again, you are delusional. You have not won the most seats ever. I want you to do something for me: Look on your screen for a white arrow. Found it? It is white with black outline and pointy. I want you to take the mouse... it is either creme or black in color and move it around on a hard surface until the white pointy arrow is over the pie looking thing next to your party name. The arrow should have changed into a hand! Now don't be scared because a little yellow box will pop up and it should say: Largest Party. Yes, I know... I am sorry to say that you are not the majority party like you thought. It's okay... As for private vs. public... no. The cash goes into actual healthcare instead of padding the pockets of fat cat doctors and HMOs. OOC: Wonder why most people in the US don't have insurance? Money. That's private healthcare at work. But that's okay because we live in a capitalist society. However, that doesn't mean that Malivia is automatically the USA. So stop using flawed real world examples to show why Malivia should do X. |

| Message | OOC: You say I'm aristocratic, yet public healthcare needs funding. How do most nations do this? They tax you like hell. Talk to people from Europe sometime, they get taxed like hell on a lot of things. American tax rates are low because of private healthcare. If it was public we would face a sharp increase. |
