| Message | This is a definition of the left clearly coming from the right and not truly underlying the values of the centre-left. The Socialist Party shall have to deliberate gravely before supporting or opposing this bill. |

| Message | I did not mean to haphazardly define the entire left, I merely meant the left-wing of the ideology of Liberalism. I understand the difference between the socialist and social democrat centre-left, and the liberal centre-left. I meant no offence. Luanna Silverton Prime Minister |

| Message | There are only two wings in a Parliament: RIGHT and LEFT. There are no socialist and social democrats nor any other invented frauds. We quite easily see one conservative side that tries to bring Telamon to moral values, religious values, upbring the nation's name in Terra, make Telamonians feel like they truly are in their home and that would like to have some control on some sectors, but all for a good cause. And we see the left side that always tries to make Telamon an amoral country without any history, likes to upbring the countries name by the number of prostitutes, abortions and atheistic countrymen. Every of these options has its 'hard-core' and 'soft-core'. We see a constant grouping that has really minor irregularities, and these groups in our Parliament can really be named left and right. This term that you used, Mrs Prime Minister, is a pure pleonasm, so don't get 'smart' with it. Everyone can say that the RP IS a left-winged party, (not centre-left) and that splitting in classes of Parliament Members is just absurd. We think that of every 'classification' like this. If you want to form a party, it cannot have any 'wings'. You must be pure-led. We again want to show our spite to the Radical Party and find them the most notorious party in Telamon! Onward Telamon, Downward 'Radicals'! |
