| Message | LDP of Luthori Secretary to the Imperial Diet, the Rt Hon. Dyson Bush: "Mr Speaker, The LDP of Luthori opposes every article of this bill. Furthermore, we do not understand the relevance of the name of our Imperial Diet to the other bills within this proposal. We ask the SJC to propose articles that are not of relevance to each other in separate bills in the future. I yield." |
