| Message | Lets us replace those seats now vacated by the Capitalists and (hopefully) gives the AMTPoH and HSP seats. |

| Message | We would advice the socialist parties in the parliament that wishes to take hobrazia in new direction to vote no on this early elecction and accepts the other bills proposed as we have never been closer to a socialist hobrazia. |

| Message | The We Say So! Party claims its in my interests to call for early elections. Besides the fact that the current parliament holds similar policies to me, can you imagine the damage that voting yes would do to my electoral position? I'm glad to here that WSS!P hopes I get seats - but alienating a friendly administration and potentially future coalition partners doesn't make political sense or further the aims of HSP. Don't take it personally WSS!P - but I can't support what is basically a motion of no confidence in a government I have full confidence in. |

| Message | @HSP: You'd get lucky to take seats as is. You need to continue to vote for a while before you gain substantial visibility. It's hard to begin but it pays off. |

| Message | So what we are basically saying to the people of Hobrazia is "we don't care that over a quarter of you aren't represented in parliament". The CP, whether you agree with them or not, held over 1/4 of all seats, those people who voted for them now don't have a voice, not very democratic is it. Also, currently we have no Head of State. With the loss of the CP we have a vacuum at the top of Government that needs to be filled asap. We have to ask, is the HPP so concerned that by voting for this they might lose the majority they currently hold, in comglomeration with others, against one moderate party? If so, it just proves that they put their own greed for power above that of democracy and the Hobrazian people. |

| Message | It doesn't matter - the coalitions of parties with similar stances in anyway. Don't worry CSP - I'm not going to throw my 0 seats behind a new election. |

| Message | Oh - all of that last post was directed at CSP. |

| 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. |
