| Message | Margaret Wright, speaking outside Parliament to the Falristanian Television Network (FTN): "On behalf of the CLP, I would first of all like to express our deepest sympathies to His Serene Highness the Lusk, Adrian II, and wish Him all the best in His remaining days. Whilst we dispute this family's claims to the throne, we have absolutely no chance at the present moment of implementing a change, and so must merely nod our heads in the direction of His son taking his place on the throne. Moving on, we are naturally delighted that our arrival on the political scene has prompted the government into recognising that free market economics are a necessity. The days have gone, we hope, where government feels that it can bale out every ailing industry. Its move on video games is also to be welcomed, and is completely in line with our Great Libertarian bill which, conversely, we see the government has voted against. We are left wondering whether the government has awoken to a libertarian attitude, or whether it is, in its sinister way, trying to parade as this sort of party, stealing possible votes from the CLP. Their vote against our proposed bills suggests to us that it is the latter. However, we are of course happy with this bill, purely because of Article II. Although we believe Child benefit should be abolished, taking it away from the government's books is to be welcomed." |
