| Message | <The Democratic Rationlist MP from Slidell, a district of Sildar where prostitution is legal, steps onto the floor looking disheveled. There is lipstick on his collar, and his shirt is visible sticking through the fly of his trousers> Ahem, ladies and gentlement of the Parliament, we appreciate that many of our esteemeed colleagues regard prostitution as a dangerous profession, and the use of prostitution services unseemly and even immoral. We in Sildar, however, believe in the primacy of local government. The fact that many of our largest campaign contributors are said to be houses of companionship services bears absolutely no bearing on our position on this matter, and never has. I'd also like to put to rest, once and for all, all rumors that the Democratic Rationalists accept companionship services "in kind" for our support for prostitution deregulation. Viscious rumors. Viscious, I say. I'll have none of them. Our position is a wholly principled one in support of local government, and always has been. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker I'd like to say the first for it, but we're going to do a little flip-flop here. When the Alorian Monarch's first became a party, we voted against banning prostitution. Now we will say that prostitution should be illegal. It does not help anyone. It only makes it more dangerous for people, especially the children. By banning prostitution it will lower the percentage of crime and illegal drug use, we beleive. On the topic of illegal drug use, let's look at the Democratic Rationalist's MP for Slidell. - John Paforson, Member of Parliament/Prime Minister candidate. |
