| Message | *Jarrad Kelp, the Member for Wentworth has the floor* "Who do you think you are? Huh? I don't know what's wrong with you people. You want to dictate everything.If you evil Reds ever managed to gain power you'd force our Liberty Loving nation into a socialist slave state. Your authoritarian, that's what you are. Even on your first day in the National Directory you want to dictate the way we function. I can't believe we have to put up with Communist rhetoric again. They have the nerve to call early elections for no reason other then to further their own interests. There is no deadlock, once my party's cabinet proposal passes Zardugal will have the most streamlined, efficient government she's had since foundation. Their only reason they give is that the voters want something new. Ha! If they wanted something new, an economically liberal mildly socially conservative party wouldn't control an entire quarter of the God Dammed National Directory! LIBERTARIAN parties picked up virtually the rest of the votes! You say they want something new! Something NEW?! Parties like mine and the Cavaliers fought against the scum of politics, FUCKING REDS LIKE YOU! *The Member for Wentworth is warned!* "With hard work and determination we fought the Socialist slave state that was Zardugal and made it into the Libertarian paradise it is today. Now more IDIOTIC COMMIES want to take the Zardugali people's very rights away. Mr. Speaker they wish to turn back the clock, to return to the Dark Ages, the Red Ages of Zardugal. The last election results show that the working man DOES NOT WANT THAT! YOU FUCKING COMMIES SHOULD BE BLOODY WELL OUTLAWED! *Mr. Kelp take your seat now!* I WANT TO SEE YOU HANG, I WANT TO SEE YOUR HEADS ROLL! SPILL YOUR RED BLOOD RIGHT HEAR! IN THE NATIONAL DIRECTORY! THE HOUSE OF LIBERTY! *The Member for Wentworth is ejected from the Directory!* ----3 minutes and a broken nose later----- *The President of the Republic has the floor* "My fellow Zardugalies, as you can see, there are those in the Liberty Party who do not appreciate the Communist Party's presence in the National Directory. Jarrad Kelp is a personal friend of mine, he is young, ruthless. Obviously he has strong beliefs about communism and it's threat to our liberal, capitalistic society. I have talked to Jarrad briefly, and have assured him that if this happens again, I'll personally call a by-election is Wentworth to replace him with another Liberty Party Member. Mr. Kelp will continue to serve as the Member for Wentworth, and still has harsh words to say when Communists are concerned, however, Mr. Kelp will keep his most frank thoughts to himself, at least during sessions in the National Directory. Thank you." ~Rowan Payne, President of the Republic |

| Message | [In an interview on the ZBC's "Politics now"] HOST: Now, uh, I assume you've heard of Mr Kelp's outburst before the Directory yesterday? LORD BYNGHAM: Haha, yes, I have. HOST: Haha, the Cavaliers have had similar brush ups with Communists, as I recall. LORD BYNGHAM: Well, Tom, to be totally honest, the Communists, particularly in this country, have a tendancy toward well-meaning nonsense. HOST: Yes... LORD BYNGHAM: In fact, years ago, a former Lord Chancellor swore he would prefer civil war than to see the communists gain a majority. Communism is somewhat of a 'boogeyman.' |

| Message | *Henry Bunker, spokesmen of the Liberty Party, makes his way down the steps of the Directory House towards his car, is swamped by reporters* "Mr Bunker! Is the mainstream scared of this new Communist Party?" "Mr. Bunker! Will Jarrad Kelp still represent Wentworth"? "Mr. Bunker! What does the Liberty Party plan to do about the Communists?" *Mr. Bunker clears his throat as a silence falls over the crowd* "I cannot speak for the other parties of Zardugal, but the Liberty Party is not "scared" of the Communists. We are concerned that the average voter might be swayed by their lies and deception. Communism always sounds good to the average working Zardugali, but it is a myth that just doesn't work. The Liberty Party will do all it can to maintain the free market capitalist society of Zardugal that it's fought so hard to achieve. As the President told the Directory yesterday, if Mr. Kelp keeps in check, he will continue to represent the Liberty Loving people of Wentworth who elected him. The Liberty Party, now let me make this clear, will not use the tactics commonly used by Communists to further our interests. We will not use rhetoric to deceive the common voter, we only ever present the evidence to the Directory and to the People. We will never resort to sanctioned violence as we believe in free speech, however the actions of Mr. Kelp and members who share similar views right across the Directory and Zardugal against the Communist threat cannot be contained and the Liberty Party will never take responsibility for any action against the Communist Party or it's members, though we condemn any violent actions towards it's members. It is because we live in a free, liberal society that we must tolerate those who seek to overthrow our free, liberal society." *Henry Bunker pushes through the rest of the reporters to his car, and quickly leaves the Directory grounds* |
