| 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: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
