| Message | Mr Speaker, His Serene Highness, The Prince Thuringen, Chairman of the CIL and Imperial Prime Minister thanks his most esteemed colleagues in the LCNP for bringing this important military matter to the attention of the Diet. While the CIL is fully aware that it could easily pass this bill on its own, it would please the Chairman to hear the opinion and hopefully gain the support of the National Party on this matter. Furthermore, His Highness hopes that the National Party and the League will continue a fruitful and mutually beneficial relationship. I yield. |
| Date | 09:03:05, January 09, 2012 CET | From | Luthori Tory Party | To | Debating the Imperial Selective Service Act of 3239 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, I thank His Serene Highness for his kind words and consideration, and are gratified to see that the Imperial League's bill is an excellent amendment to the previous legal conflict. It is very much the intention of the Constitutional National Party to vote in favour of this most excellent Bill. Indeed, it is a most excellent Bill, which presents a laudable resolution to the prior problem. It is, however, the opinion of the CNP that the situation may stil present an irreconcilable conflict for the minority in this Empire who do not align themselves either with Almighty God and the holy, catholic faith, or with any organised religion. The number of such persons is, of course, small, and the CNP is well aware that hard cases make for bad law, but it is the belief of the CNP that there may perhaps be a role for such persons in the armed forces, perhaps as non-combatants in the Colonial Guards. I yield the floor. -Peter Sandys-Carteret, Leader of the Constitutional National Party |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We believe that such circumstances can promptly be addressed in another bill. We invite the LCNP to draft a bill suggesting that non-believers may be allowed to work as contractors with the military. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, This seems a most elegant solution, and we are happy to vote in favour of this bill. |
