| Message | Say's who? It also means that less people will die from drugs, as people will get clean needles and as such will not get diseases. |

| Message | Prohibition will simply feed crime. It always has, and always will. It is far better to allow people to use drugs - and to educate them (rather that try to scare them) about the consequences. |

| 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. |
| Random quote: “The people's war isn't just a war of destruction, it is also a war of construction. We will build new facilities, new hospitals, new farms. We will seek to improve the lives of the people around us. This struggle will be as costly as the struggle against the bourgeois army, and indeed will be even more damaging to the enemy.” - Comrade X, former Hulstrian politician |
