| Message | Mr Speaker, Forgive my ignorance, but would the proposer care to explain to me and my hon members what "eminent domain" is. We're mostly simple soldiers and clergymen and no not of these legal matters. I yield the floor. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, "Eminent domain" refers to the legal power of the government to compulsorily purchase private land or property.. This is usually done when a government needs to clear space in order to build, for example, a train line or a road. I yield the floor. Belinda Braithwaite (Leader of the LCWA) |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I thank the Most Excellent Lady Viceroy for the explanation. As all non-Church land belongs to His Serene Majesty The Holy Luthori Emperor, or one of the Royal Duchies, we see no need for HSM Government to be compelled to pay compensation for reclaiming it. I yield the floor. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is a severe violation of civil liberties. This bill would legalize COMMUNISM! For it would give ownership of everything to the state, and let the state do whatever it wishes with it. It is a ridiculous matter to even think that this bill should pass. All who support this bill are nothing but COMMUNISTS! The Bible and Crown Defenders should rename themselves the Marx and Communist Defenders, the Linen and Pimm's Party should rename themselves the Commies on Pimm's Party, and the Agrarian National-Syndicalist Party should rename itself the Agrarian Statist Puppets Party to reflect their true nature! I yield the floor. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I must remind the member opposite that any attempt to usurp the Emperor's land is treason. I yield His Seren Majesty's floor. |
