Message | Madam Speaker, So the Greens wish to prevent us from using all the weapons at our disposal, to defend our nation, for what? Insanity? That is not insanity.

Message | Madam Speaker, I am sure that what my colleague the Minister of Defence meant to say was that capitalism is the great evil of the modern age, and weapons of mass destruction are just one of the evil ways in which capitalism expresses itself. George Butterworth MP (Minister of Foreign Affairs) |

Message | Madam Speaker, the Rt. Hon. Foreign Minister should be compelled to take some lessons in political science in order to prevent blabbering utter nonsense in these honorable halls. Capitalism is inherently anti-war because ongoing conflict stifles trade and peaceful exchange, thus destroying the basis of capitalism. Julia Breckinridge MP Member for Ulbrach GNP Deputy Parliamentary Leader |
Date | 21:34:42, January 15, 2013 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the Stop the Insanity Act |
Message | Madam Speaker, some of my critics tell me I am "insane" and that my policies are "insanity". But if this was so, then why am I supporting the 'Stop the Insanity Act'? The insane people are the ones voting against this legislation, because it is the height of insanity to make it easier for a war to break out where weapons of mass destruction are used. George Butterworth MP (Minister of Foreign Affairs) |

Message | Madam Speaker, this is not always the case. The Rt. Hon. Foreign Minister is ignoring the deterrent effect of WMDs, which is, in fact, the only, yet most convincing reason why we support them as part of our armed forces' equipment. Ishiro Tanaka MP Member for Magadonia GNP Defence Spokesman |
Date | 21:44:43, January 15, 2013 CET | From | Radical Liberal Party of Dranland | To | Debating the Stop the Insanity Act |
Message | Madam Speaker I want to intervene that we will still have nuclear we have just not to use it until to an attack which pretty sane because effects of WMD are huge and it is use have to be regulated and today we have sane governments usually but what if a nutjob gets the power and create a stıupid excuse its use to start a war that devastate entire Terra not just Dranland Florence McCormick Leader of Greens Parliamentary. |

Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
