| Message | Madam Speaker, the CLP again showing why they are dependant on this UM movement to keep them in power. What a ridiculous proposal, taking away the rights of those who want to strike! It is becoming tiresome to point out that the CLP are the Corporations Party and this Act simply proves the HNP's point |
| Date | 10:56:27, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, what foolishness comes from the HNP benches! This does not deprive the right of workers to strike at all. It simply returns powers to the employer. Mr Speaker, if a union votes in favour of strike action and all workers walk out, it is extremely unlikely that they would be fired. Why? Because the employer would lose all his workers and his business would likely fold! However, Mr Speaker, that basic right must be the employer's. It must not be for the state to dictate his hiring and firing policies. Mr Speaker, let me remind the House and the country about the party that purports to exist for the workers. This is the party that has proposed to make trade unions illegal, to make Democratic Workers' Councils illegal, to bar foreign owners from buying companies and thereby protecting the vested interests of Hutorian corporations, and favours the state bailing out those industries that are on the verge of collapse. Mr Speaker, how on earth can the HNP argue that they are for the workers? Mr Speaker, it becomes more and more clear that it is the HNP that is the party of the corporations and businesses, and it is the HNP that would be the enemy of the workers. |
| Date | 16:57:06, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, quite simply a laughable answer by the CLP claiming that it is us who are the party of the Corporations. All parties are aware of the CLP's voting record and the other parties know who the true corporations party is. Mr Speaker, the HNP are here to protect the people of Hutori from these exploitive companies that the CLP support! To think that we support the companies David Craddock is simply showing he is the extremely incompetent leader we knew him to be! |
| Date | 18:10:55, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, did they or did they not propose and campaign on the issue of making trade unions illegal? Did they, or did they not, introduce legislation that would have made DWCs illegal? Do they or do they not support the government giving money to failing businessmen? Do they or do they not wish to see foreigners kept out of the process so as to be able to keep Hutorian businessmen at the top? Mr Speaker, it is perfectly clear which party has the terrible track record when it comes to considering the interests of the workers. The argument that the CLP is a corporationist party is absurd and laughable. We are a party that believes that government serves only to maximise freedom in all quarters, and it is this freedom that the working man so craves. |
| Date | 18:20:08, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, the CLP are simply turning the Hutorian people into a labor source for businessmen to exploit! Under the HNP the people would not be held hostage by these companies who control their destinies. We wish to protect the citizens and not the business interests. |
| Date | 18:25:10, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Is the outlawing of trade unions protecting the citizens Mr Speaker? Is making the workers dependent on the state protection? Mr Speaker, the HNP are an elitist party which would impose an authoritarian government, hungry for power over both economic and social areas. Freedom would be but a dream. |
| Date | 18:29:40, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, i think the decision of this Bill is over seeing the votes. I will now rise above the CLP and not respond to their petty arguements over this issue. They may be more interested in political point scoring but we are about policies! |
| Date | 19:11:53, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, petty arguments?! Mr Speaker, each one of our points have been based on the policies of the HNP. They may not like us discussing the policies they have introduced, but that is a necessary part of democracy. Mr Speaker, the HNP cannot hide from accountability forever and must get used to exposure for as long as we remain a democracy. They can run, Mr Speaker, but they can't hide. |
| Date | 19:16:25, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, we are not running from the CLP. We just find it now boring to continue this debate when we have won that is all. |
| Date | 19:28:09, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, democracy can be boring at times, but it is the only way that each of us can be held to account and the people can remain free. |
| Date | 19:41:11, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Samuel Haskins MP, HNP Deputy Leader : Mr Speaker, yes democracy can be boring as i actually fell asleep during the CLP members last speech [sound of backbench laughter]. Point is that we are holding the government to account and it is becoming clearer the CLP's time as a political force is drawing closer and closer to the end. |
| Date | 19:49:43, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, if the gentleman fell asleep during a one line statement, then his suitability to be in this chamber must be questioned. |
| Date | 19:54:01, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Samuel Haskins MP, HNP Deputy Leader : Mr Speaker, who is this joke of an MP who reads the CLP statements. Clearly they are unaware of the concept of irony [more backbench laughter]. To think Mr Speaker we accused David Craddock of having no brainpower, clearly the CLP is completely lacking in brainpower! [even louder backbench laughter] |
| Date | 19:58:23, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, if having brainpower means that you are in favour of torture, in favour of an arbitrary death penalty, in favour of shutting down the borders and turning Hutori into a fortress, in favour of economic fascism, against homosexual and women's rights, then we are perfectly delighted to be lacking in brainpower. Mr Speaker, in the eyes of the HNP, brainpower clearly equates to the holding of fascist views - they have all the brainpower in the land. |
| Date | 20:05:21, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Samuel Haskins MP, HNP Deputy Leader : Mr Speaker, we thank the CLP's statement on the brainpower of the HNP which was : "They have all the brainpower in the land" Mr Speaker, i believe the HNP have never proposed any bills against homosexuality or womens rights. Now taking measures to protect the people from capitalist exploitation is called economic facsism. The CLP never ceases to amaze us with the lengths they go to. They simply do not know when they have lost the fight. What a joke of a Political Party, Mr Speaker |
| Date | 20:41:35, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, is it not the HNP that seeks to ban homosexuals and women from the military? Is this not an attack on those sectors of society? |
| Date | 21:17:51, March 12, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Employer's Rights Act |
| Message | Samuel Haskins MP, HNP Deputy Leader : No, Mr Speaker, it is not the HNP who proposed the banning of homosxuals and women from the military. The only restriction we wanted on women was to remove them from the front-line! More political nonsence from the CLP we have all come to know |
