| Message | Mr. Speaker HoT will never support child labour, ever. The Empire is not a place where child slavery takes place!!! We will actively campaign against this and if this passes we will gather our supporters and stage protests outside the companies that would allow this. Though we are supportive of the Emperor and the Empire we find support for any kind of slavery like this destestable!!! There are some things we could never support and this is one. Seeing as some of the duchies may allow child labor we will go after this bill and when power comes seek to eradicate this. I yield |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We are not talking about child slavery, that is not the issue here. We are talking about the completely voluntary labour of minors. The HoT is of course free to stage protests as long as it does not disrupt the well functioning of the objects of these protests. I yield. |

In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
