| Message | O MSP vem por este meio criticar o tom pouco cordial e urbano dos dirigentes do Partido Popular. Por outro lado, criticamos o modo como o PP escolhe discutir e apresentar as suas propostas de lei, muitas delas recentemente legisladas, sempre em grande número impossibilitando uma discussão sincera sobre as várias matérias envolvidas. Votamos sem qualquer reserva contra este conjunto incoerente e populista de propostas do PP. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
