| Message | Alright, the Tories get the decrease in seats they wanted, the decrease in election terms, and the renaming of Parliament. We get the change in national sport, the region renaming, and a new national animal. Our justification for the Emperor Penguin: We live in a northern climate, kangaroos don't live here. |

| Message | See, you messed everything up with that early election. We could have gotten this passed and changed a lot. Anyway, we support this reform bill because it's an actual compromise between what you want and what we want. The other one is pretty much written by your party. Could we get a roll call on which parties will support, etc? |

| Message | Alright, we really just need the TCP. Since I don't know if they'll vote yes, I'll put this up to a vote once the TPB inactivates, since I doubt they'll support. |

While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson |
