| Message | Rt Hon Baron Bedonde, Supreme Dictator, Mr Speaker, there are none of these articles that the HNM would see as beneficial to Hutori. The HNM stands by its decisions on all of the ten issues outlined above by the PSP and we see no reason to vote in favour of the Act and comprimise our beliefs and the Hutorian people. |
| Date | 13:36:46, September 26, 2010 CET | From | Progressive Socialist Party | To | Debating the PSP Reform Agenda |
| Message | The Hurtori people would be far better off with these policies passed. Please reconsider your decision and implement these policies as soon as possible! |
| Date | 00:03:28, September 27, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the PSP Reform Agenda |
| Message | Rt Hon Baron Bedonde, Supreme Dictator, Mr Speaker, the Hutori Nazi Movement does not advocate these abhorrent policies. We once advocated socialism but now we have seen the true light and have realised, that totalitarian government is what the people need. They need a firm hand and under these reforms the people would have a voice that would comprimise our great Hutorian society and that Mr Speaker, is something the HNM will not concede without a fight! |
