| Date | 17:21:46, March 04, 2012 CET | From | Luthori Tory Party | To | Debating the Party Platform |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, His Imperial and Most Excellent Majesty's Government would consider it possible to vote in favour of Article III, but finds the other articles of this Bill totally unconscionable. I yield the floor. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Now is the time to crack down on liberties that have gone unchecked for too long. We must make Luthori into a working machine of undeniable power and fortitude. This Bill demands no less from the nation. I yield to rebuttals. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
