| Message | Rt Hon Baroness Marelle, Prime Minister, Madam Speaker, i am pleased to announce that i have returned to Parliament and will continue to do so. I have had taken a short break to have a serious think about the situation the NSC and Hutori faces. Madam Speaker, after much deliberation, we have decided to take a u-turn on this Bill. The NSC has remembered its promise that once the Labour led protests were over we would restore liberties in Hutori. We forgot that temporarily and we are going to vote in favour of this Bill. The NSC is starting to change its civil liberty stance back to what we have wanted all along. We only felt the need to clamp down because of the actions of the Labour Party. I believe Hutori is now stable thanks to our governance and i can start to repeal liberty taking bills. |

| Message | Madam Speaker, could this u-turn have anything to do with an impending election? |
| Date | 22:44:17, June 17, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Civil Rights And Progressive Society Act |
| Message | Madam Speaker, hardly impending when its a year and a half/two years away. |
| Date | 22:48:48, June 17, 2010 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Civil Rights And Progressive Society Act |
| Message | Madam Speaker, let us remember that the NSC committed to a civil liberties agenda once before, and then they abandoned it yet again. Is this naive flip-flopping Madam Speaker? No - it's something far more sinister. Madam Speaker, if they are committing to civil liberties, let's see them change their votes on the Media bill and the Slavery bill. Let us also see them vote alongside the United Movement to return an elected Speaker and to repeal the bill allowing party militaries. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
