| Message | Classical Liberal and Barons of Aldumor seem to have similar beliefs. I wonder if they are multi-accounting? |

| Message | Lol...ive only had one manifesto here :p My previous party, the Trigunian Unionist party didnt even ref lect my beliefs....i just did it to gain votes. This time being truthful to what i believe in. From what ive worked out the Barons are more authoritarian than my party. |

| Message | Well, I meant that the past two manifestos submitted here, one by you and one by Barons, were both pretty much completely against what I (and to some extent European Left) believe in. It's hard to tell with Adamastor. I would say that I'm very authoritarian, a very stringent market regulator, and very secular, those being sectors where my belief is strongest. When you say that you just did something to gain votes, what do you mean? I thought votes were based off of how consistently you voted and how often you voted on or submitted bills that reflected certain beliefs. It also seems that Adamastor can outvote anyone now, since that party controls more than half of the Legislature. |

| Message | In the last country i was in i just voted moderately, in line with the majority of the population, rather than voting in line with my actual beliefs |
