Variable Interaction description
These desciptions appear when a specific group is called for text.

HouseResponse

 * [ 0 ] Your proposed law may not excite the House, but nothing about it seems to put them off. Those who bother voting at least vote in your favour.
 * [ 30 ] Your proposed law is fiercely contested by the House. Fortunately, as nobody else has actually read it, none can give particularly cogent arguments against it. When the dinner bell goes, even its archest critics are happy to vote for it if it'll get them to the dining room before the sausages are all gone."
 * [ 60 ] Your masterful politics have the whole House eating out of your hand. There is never any doubt that Albion will have a new law by the time you have finished speaking.
 * [ 80 ] The cheers from the front and back-benches say it all. Even the MPs in opposition can barely work up more than a few desultory boos.

SecretaryComment

 * [ 0 ] The Loquacious Civil Servant consults the latest opinion polls. \"This is indeed a... courageous... law,\" he comments, in a tone usually saved for a particularly unfortunate eulogy.
 * [ 10 ] The Loquacious Civil Servant hurries in. \"Minister, I am afraid to say that so far your political will is only clashing with your colleagues' won't. I trust you have some secondary plans?\"
 * [ 20 ] The Loquacious Civil Servant dispatches a secretary to check the mood of the house. He returns looking less than convinced. \"At least we have your back, Minister!\"
 * [ 30 ] \"I believe we are starting to see some success,\" reads the Loquacious Civil Servant's latest note. \"Whatever you are doing, I highly advocate its continuation and/or escalation, to be deleted as appropriate and with the greatest possible respect.\"
 * [ 40 ] The Loquacious Civil Servant has good news. \"Minister, I have it on good authority that the House is seriously considering backing your new law. Of course, you did not hear it from me, in anything other than the strictest, most actual sense of the word.\"
 * [ 50 ] The Loquacious Civil Servant is nowhere to be seen, choosing instead to take a long lunch. This is probably a good sign.
 * [ 60 ] The Loquacious Civil Servant hurries in with the latest opinion polls. \"Everything is coming up...\" he searches for a suitable word. \"Good! Yes. Very... very... good! Excuse me. I think I may be falling for something unpleasant.\"
 * [ 70 ] The Loquacious Civil Servant appears pleased. \"Minister, in just a few short days, you have done what few around here can bring themselves to do. Specifically, a good day's work. I am proud to stand beside you, however this bill passes, unless of course it proves a failure in which case I regret to inform you I shall be seeking a transfer to the Foreign Office at the first opportunity, and indeed have not ruled this out in the event of a success either. I trust you understand.\""
