| Message | The Conservative-Libertarian Party would like to nominate Eric Powell MP for the position of Speaker. Eric Powell is MP for Bekenial South and was elected in the October 2922 election. Widely seen as being on the far right of the Party, Mr Powell is the only CLP MP who has argued for a Hutor-only state, and has advocated fewer rights for minorities. He would like to see a return to firm nationality and citizenship laws as well as greater immigration control. Mr Powell has been described as a loner by his party and his campaign for Bekenial South was fought with very few funds from central office. He courted controversy in 2926 by calling for a CLP-HNP coalition. He said: "No doubt I shall cause some controversy here, but, were it not for their absurd economic policies, I would be seriously calling for a demonstration of unity between the Conservative-Libertarian Party and our Nationalist friends. I call on them to move towards the centre ground on the economy, and together we can change the shape of our country for the better." Although he was reprimanded by his leader, he was returned with an increased majority at each of the subsequent elections. Mr Powell considered running for the leadership to replace Baroness Peters but felt that his efforts were better directed at the Speakership. He has promised that under his Speakership, Parliament would be a place for proper debate, where all parties would be obliged to answer points raised by other parties, so as to increase the effectiveness of the legislative process. |

| Message | Whilst the HNP is still considering its Candiate for the position of Speaker, interesting to note the CLP supporter holds certain HNP views. Typically the CLP have tried to put him into a position where his influence will be limited by the politically neutral position of Speaker. |
| Date | 14:53:34, May 05, 2010 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Election of Speaker 2935 - VOTE NOW |
| Message | To clarify, Mr Speaker, Mr Powell put himself forward for the position of Speaker voluntarily and was elected by the parliamentary party to be the nominee. It must also be clarified, Mr Speaker, that whilst Mr Powell sympathises with the HNP on racial and some social issues, he disagrees with them on the economy and the constitution. |

| Date | 21:22:43, May 05, 2010 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Election of Speaker 2935 - VOTE NOW |
| Message | Mr Speaker, perhaps the Civic Democrats could contribute a little more of their time to this place. It would be delightful to know exactly who Leonardo Uhl is. |
| Date | 21:36:41, May 05, 2010 CET | From | Hutori Reformists | To | Debating the Election of Speaker 2935 - VOTE NOW |
| Message | Leonardo Uhl is chairman of Head committee of Civic Democrats and ex mayor of Loturus, city in Lagard Region. He was for first time elected to Parliament on August 2908. He is right wing of CD. |
| Date | 23:33:13, May 05, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Election of Speaker 2935 - VOTE NOW |
| Message | Prime Minister Mervyn Bijai : Mr Speaker, due to part of the terms of our electoral pact with the Civil Democrats, the HNP is not going to put forward a candidate because we want the CD as a part of this absurd National Council. We will support the CD candidate in the voting stage but we shall not put forward our own candidate despite how tempting 2 of 3 positions in the National Council would be. |

| Date | 10:25:30, May 10, 2010 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Election of Speaker 2935 - VOTE NOW |
| Message | OOC: PLEASE USE THE OTHER SPEAKER THREAD: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=290245 THIS THREAD IS INVALID DUE TO THE DEPARTURE OF THE HNF. (In any case, the HNF voted for their own candidate which is against the rules, and the Labour Party supported the HNP, who did no submit a candidate!) |
