| Message | Rt Hon Viscount Townsend MP, Leader of the Opposition, Mr Speaker, to quickly raise an issue highlighted by the LSP member in the debate on the Education Act of 3132 (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=321478). The LSP asked how many Bills have they got passed through this House? Well they have had three passed of five proposed. One of which has already ben overturned when we re-introduced the policy of conscription. This LSP has been in Hutorian politics for what 5-7 years and have barely participated in the political system! Mr Speaker, on this issue, we believe in an ideal world we would support the proposed but unfortunatley we do not live in such a world and precautions should be taken appropriatley. I believe the status quo is the best policy on this issue. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, as usual, the HCP spends most of its energy in these "debates" merely attacking the LSP with irrelevant comments that have nothing to do with the pros or cons of the issue at hand. |

| Message | Rt Hon Viscount Townsend MP, Leader of the Opposition, Mr Speaker, we simply are stating facts! I am sure the people of Hutori want to hear all about the LSP because.....apparantly......this is the party they will all be voting for..... Mr Speaker, we have adressed the issue by stating what we believe to be the right policy for this issue. The LSP obviously only selectivley read the speech above. They would do well to note that everything we have stated in this debate is true. The people have a right to know about what political parties are operating in Hutori...that is what democracy is! But then the LSP do favour a communist dictatorship. |
