| Message | Rt Hon Viscount MacIntosh, Prime Minister, Mr Speaker, the Hutorian State believes that we need to stimulate our economy through progressive development and growth. With the re-introduction of trade unions, this restores basic power to the people. The state still dominates over their lives but we feel to boost the Hutorian economy the state needs to take a back seat on this. Mr Speaker, the introduction of unions does not mean that the HNM will not continue to dominate the vast majority of the state economy. We are simply enabling people to make themselves a little more money to enhance their lives and our economy. This reform i suspect will be supported by all parties and i believe reflects a new age for the HNM. |

| Message | George Oldfield, Leader of the Conservative Party, Mr. Speaker, The claims made by the Prime Minister are completely false. These proposals will destroy not only Hutori industry but also capitalism, directing Hutori towards a socialist economy which every nation on Terra knows destroys economies and entire nations. We are saddened that there are parties in Hutori that do not serve the best interests of this nation and want to take it backwards. |
