| Message | Mr. William Hook, Liberal Leader Mr. Speaker, I find it a complete shame that the HCP considers a reduction in minimum wage to subsistence levels to be appropriate. Hutori is not a backward, agricultural society unknown to the modern realities of life. If we are to be a progressive, forward-thinking nation, attracting capable labour from aboard, while keeping our own, we must legislate pay to a degree that life can be reasonably provided for. Therefore, we the Liberal Party, vote against the Conservative government`s shameful motion. The sons and daughters of Hutori should not be punished for the Conservative ideology of this government. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
