| Message | It is hardly a good message to send to our front line soldiers, or to aggressive nations, when they see leftist students burning our nations flag on the streets of our cities. The law is a good law and gives our nation the respect it deserves from its citizens. |

| Message | Who said anything about leftists being the only ones to burn the flag? You cannot legally mandate respect from a populace. |

| Message | DSPL, it is entirely logical, as we have seen, rightists oppose this bill, leftists support, therefore surely that would be an indiciation that some leftists wish to trash the flag. |

| 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. |
