Message | Mr Speaker, The only reason the Socialists gained any votes is because the electorate perceived them to be capitalist (OOC: see your visibility), furthermore, the fact that only half the electorate even bothered to show up at the polls on election day hardly gives the Socialists any mandate. I yield. |
Date | 08:31:26, March 28, 2011 CET | From | Order of Christian Luthori Workers | To | Debating the OCLW 006: Workers' Nation Act 3096 |
Message | Mr. Speaker, By the same logic used by the CIL, hundreds of past elections 'hardly give' the CIL, EAP or any party of Luthori any form of mandate. Whether or not the CIL likes it, the left has been given power in Luthori. They'd be wise to embrace the future. I also wish to point out that surely the public did not mistake the WCP to be capitalist when it made them the largest party in Luthori. I yield. |

Message | Mr Speaker, The CIL does not and has never claimed a sweeping mandate to change whatever wants in whatever way it wants. The CIL stands for one thing: the preservation of the aristocratic monarchy which is inspired by God. We absolutely oppose socialism as the work of the Devil. Actually, we believe it is very probably the the OCLW membership will risk excommunication from the Church of Luthori for supporting such devilish laws as banning teacher prayers. Seeing as according to the latest surveys, approximately 98% of the Luthorian population is religious and that the only other major religion apart from the Church of Luthori is the ultra-conservative Traditionalist Lutheran Church, we wonder who will vote for the OCLW. In the words of our prophet and the founder of Lutheranism, Martyn Luthor, a country cannot exist with absolute equality, inherent inequality of aptitude is the will of God and the state should not try to supersede God by modifying this. I yield. |
