All eight factions must support a law with a clear majority for passage to occur. It's designed to cause gridlock, which isn't all that bad. The less legislation passed the National Council, the freer the populace."

- Han-Pïer Kent, current Speaker of the Council

I doubt many of them survived if any at all"
