Message | Rt Hon Viscount Holding MP, NSC Leader, Mr Deputy Speaker, the NSC wishes to nominate for the position of Speaker, Mr Harold Johnson MP. Mr Johnson was elected to the House in the previous general election and has been representing his constituents in this House from the opposition backbenches. Mr Deputy Speaker, Mr Johnson is a firm believer in the NSC policies of socialism. His stance on the economy is of a strong centrally controlled economy with small areas of privitisation in local communities. His views on the economy represent views across all the benches in the House. He is a firm believer in parliamentary democracy and would be an ideal candidate for holding the position of Speaker. He would ensure all MP's are givn an equal voice in Parliament and would uphold the high standards of this highest house in Hutori. |

Message | Pierre du Lac, le Comte de Saint Adrian, Chairman of the Imperial Democrats, Mr. Deputy Speaker, The Imperial Democrats hereby nominate Armand Mireault for the Speakership of this Parliament. Armand Mireault has been a member of the Parliament for the last 6 years, since 3053. Armand Mireault is a staunch supporter of people's rights and the monarchy. He is a moderate capitalist, and would like to have some degrees of capitalism throughout our economy, but at the same time have some levels of government regulation. He is also a supporter of the concept of People's rights, where the people are guaranteed some rights and the ability to live their lives without their government monitoring everything they do. The monarchy is also very important to Mr. Mireault. He has always supported the King, and will ensure that he is not deposed by anyone. It is for these reasons the Imperial Democrats nominate Mr. Armand Mireault for the position of Speaker of this Parliament. |

Message | Mr Deputy Speaker, with the CLP and Ultranationalists not bothering to put forward Candidates and for the record we are very dissapointed that two parties in this nation cannot take five minutes to throw a name into the hat for the speakership. Therefore due to the rules of appointing a Speaker, the NSC must cast its vote for the ID's candidate Armand Mireault. Also the ID's must cast their vote for the NSC candidate Harold Johnson. |

Message | Mr. Deputy Speaker, we the Ultrationalists wish to second the Hutori National-Socialist Congress's nomination and cast our vote for Harold Johnson. |

Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
