| Message | Mr Speaker, this will see Hutori turned into a fortress. |
| Date | 15:38:56, May 24, 2010 CET | From | Fortunato's Fascist Formation | To | Debating the Border Control Act. |
| Message | Mr Speaker, that is exactly our intention to transform Hutori into a great fortress. |
| Date | 16:42:17, May 24, 2010 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Border Control Act. |
| Message | And yet, Mr Speaker, most fortresses remain constant in size. This fortress will attempt to push forward to make even more people its prisoners. Mr Speaker, it really is a sad situation that a party such as this can claim to represent the desires of the working man. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, our neighbours, Davostan, Would be extremely proud of this. |

| Message | Michael Mancini, MP, FFF: Mr Speaker, we are an open Fascist party. The people know, we are not a democractic, libertarian party but the infact the opposite. We are an Ultranationalist-Authoritarian party. The conservatives once applauded us for our honesty and integrity but now accuse us of selling out the people. Once again, I am forced to point out that the Labour Party claim to be socialists but went to bed with the Conservatives. The Conservatives have done nothing for the working man. I mean, nothing. One must only view their policies on immigration. A friend of mine, who I had not seen in many years, a qualified tradesman, recently arrived at my office. He seemed upset. I asked, how I could help him and this was what he replied: "Michael, a man refuses to employ me, he says he only hires Davostanis" It's a disgrace, it's an outrage. He is a tradesman, not a labourer but a qualified tradesman refused work in his own country. Mr Fortunato hired him, just like he has hired many other working men and women. |

| Message | Duke Hastings MP, CLP Leader: Mr Speaker, over 50% of our membership come from the skilled working classes. They join our ranks because they see us as the party of aspiration, the party that represents every single section of this country without discrimination, the party that rewards their desire to succeed, and takes offence with those that seek to rock our society. Mr Speaker, it should be noted that amongst the middle-class intelligentsia, we have almost no members. Where are most of these elite intellectuals to be found, Mr Speaker? Of course, in the Fascist Party. Mr Speaker, the situation that the gentleman's friend finds himself in is indeed unfortunate. I am sure that it is an extremely rare example, and not something that I have come across before in my many visits throughout this country during my time as Prime Minister. Mr Speaker, the gentleman should take comfort in the fact that the CLP takes no position on hiring policy whatsover. It would not therefore be illegal for a businessman to refuse to hire foreign born individuals. We would not encourage it, Mr Speaker, but it would not be illegal. The market is wise enough to sort this sort of situation out. Indeed, the business owner in question, Mr Speaker, could be boycotted, which I am sure some Hutorians do. Mr Speaker, every CLP leader, with one exception, has come from a lower or middle class background. We are confident in our working class links, and know that the working classes appreciate our links. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, sometimes when two parties go to bed with each other, a thing is concieved that has the genes of both within it. During these turbulent and changing times, the Labour/CLP coalition has been a neccesity in keeping a balance of sensible legislation in this fine nation. While the FFF and the HNP want to introduce extreme policy changes, our two parties have worked together effectivly to stop them. Also, our parties are not, and never will be bound ideologically, only morally, for the future and prosperity of hutori. Uzziel Yitzhak MP, Leader of the Labour Party. |
| Date | 00:07:26, May 25, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Border Control Act. |
| Message | Marquess Haskins MP, Mr Speaker, the Labour Party are seriously lost in Hutorian politics. They say that they are the Party of the working class Hutorian citizen? I would have thought that in their socialist utopia that they would want to assist us in putting the Hutorian working classes first within this nation. Perhaps that is just my personal view? Maybe Labour have given up on this ideal? or maybe they want to stay in good stead with the CLP? Anyways Mr Speaker, we thought the Labour Party would want this law introduced to protect what they see as the most important thing in our society - the people! |
| Date | 09:40:56, May 25, 2010 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Border Control Act. |
| Message | Mr Speaker, the Labour Party's main purpose is the people, it always has been, and always will be. And that is why we cannot allow this bill to pass. After a long year of working, we should allow our citizens the right to go on holiday, we should allow them to travel as they see fit, we love our people and we cannot imprison them in the worlds largest prison facility. Furthermore, Mr Speaker, do we really see it fit to stop all tourism potential in hutori? If the right honorable Marquess Haskins really loved his people, he would not see fit to imprison them, nor to cease a potentially thriving tourism base that would increase our economy and potentially give our people and even better living standard. I hope the gentleman sees our logic. we are not blindly following the CLP, we are voting according to common sense. |
