| Message | Rt Hon Norman Thompson MP, Leader of the CLP: Mr Speaker, after over a decade of the CLP the Lusks, like some ancient feudal lords, insist on being ignorant to the wishes and desires of the people of this country. Have we rolled back the state simply to have the Lusks wish to reimpose it? They have failed to move with the times, and the people will fail to move to them. |

| Message | Hon Chairman Harvey Acre, Bt. Mr Speaker, the Lusk family's right to rule does not derive from the farcical notion of popular consent, nor from divine providence, but from the unique rôle in society that they occupy as religious, business, and political leaders, and from their location at the highest level of the class pyramid. They are the natural rulers of this land, and their ideas, derived from ancient principles of religion and philosophy, are above mere popularity. |

| Message | The Prime Minister: Mr Speaker, this country is now a democracy. The Lusks' view of themselves is completely and utterly outdated. No longer is it only the landowners who are allowed to vote...and even when it was they turned on the Lusks! Nationality is no longer reserved to those who are born of nationals, and no others. No longer are the civil liberties of the people in this country restricted and clamped down on. No longer is industry in the hands of the elites. The ordinary man on the street is now in charge of this country. And the Lusks should adjust to that new state of affairs. |
