| Message | We were thinking of proposing withdrawal from that treaty a while ago. Only three nations have ratified it. Even the nation of the party that proposed it did not ratify it. |

| Message | We think a bill in this legislature to change public policy ought to include a reason for the change. The poetry is optional. |

| Message | We appreciate the poetry, but do not appreciate this attempt to destroy Mordusia's ecology. We will note no. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
