| Message | Mr. Speaker, We acknowledge no such law. It is illegitimate. It is undemocratic and aimed entirely to serve the interests of some over others. Harry Lynch, DSF Leader. |
| Date | 11:28:07, January 09, 2012 CET | From | Conservative Party of Rutania | To | Debating the Education of the People Act of February 3240 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, Please may i ask the RP whether or not they think etiquette will get anything solved in parliament? This piece of legislation is not only the most offensive, but the most useless piece of legislation any party has put through this parliament. For that reason i must agree with the DSF party on this issue. |
