| Message | Rt Hon Tom Heaton MP, Hutorian Prime Minister, Mr Speaker, the Socialist Party is an embarrassment. Not only for their ridiculous corporation tax policy but just their sheer incompetence on Hutorian history. Apparently corporation tax is at a "historic" low. Some Hutorians who are still alive today would remember this - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=332838 - when Corporation Tax was at 0%. Now...perhaps the Socialist Party will now admit they know nothing about Hutorian history? |

| Message | Rt Hon Tom Heaton MP, Hutorian Prime Minister, Mr Speaker, if we could also have an explanation from the Independent Coalition on this - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=347811. Clearly they can be seen here voting against 40% corporation taxes. They wouldn't be cosying up to the Socialists now would they? |

| Message | Rt Hon Alec Jones MP, Leader of the Opposition Mr Speaker, this tax is a historic low in the sense that such low levels should be regarded as a great blemish on our nation's history. It should be taught in school textbooks: The Conservatives will only look after the rich. |

Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
