| Message | Mr Speaker SJP again showed their elitist stance against poor. Private schools are needed because obstinate government won't increase the budget and this means less funds to children and educating poor students become much more harder. Shame on you! Birgitte Fjerstad MP Independent |
| Date | 17:36:39, April 22, 2013 CET | From | Popular Action Party 인기있는 행동 | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, Fjerstad shows her hatred of the poor. If only public schools exists, government would divert funds given to private schools by the thieving rightwing bureacracy back to public schools. The only elitist is you with your obsession with allowing rich people to go to private schools while the rest go to underfunded public schools. Emma Olsen MP SJP |
| Date | 18:15:07, April 22, 2013 CET | From | Dranish Conservative Party | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, this legislation woud deny patients and parents the choices they deserve. But even worse than this, it would adverse affect the quality of education and healthcare enjoyed by the poorest - the very people the SJP purports to help. When a person pays for private healthcare or private education, they free up resources within the public healthcare and public edcuation system to be used on children from families which cannot afford to go private. The result of this legislation would be to make education and healthcare worse for *everybody* - rich or poor. Rafael Duvalle MP Minister of Justice |
| Date | 21:34:10, April 22, 2013 CET | From | Grand National Party | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, this collectivist bill would deprive children of much-needed individualized private options to the ailing public education system, which is suffering from the stranglehold of socialist teacher's unions and their political minions, including the SJP. Miranda Gutierrez MP Member for Ulbrach RFR Education Spokeswoman |
| Date | 08:26:43, April 23, 2013 CET | From | Popular Action Party 인기있는 행동 | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, We are the minions of the unions, Ms Gutierrez is correct on that and we are proud to be minions of the workers' representatives. Whose minion I ask are you Ms Gutierrez, perhaps Eilomax or some ot the greater multis who dictate your party's policies. At least our miniony is driven by patriotism not filling our own pockets corruptly. The reason why the education system is failing is underfunding after decades of far right economic policies. Eurwyn Rhys MP SJP Chairman |
| Date | 18:25:02, April 23, 2013 CET | From | Dranish Conservative Party | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, if Eurwyn Rhys has evidence that Miranda Gutierrez or any other Member of Parliament has a connection to Eilomax, then he should provide us with that evidence. On the other hand, if - as I suspect - he has zero evidence, then he should withdraw his false claims. Rafael Duvalle MP Minister of Justice |
| Date | 18:32:35, April 23, 2013 CET | From | Radical Liberal Party of Dranland | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker Ex-Presidents record on working with Eilomax supporters are pretty obvious. He doesn't have a right to object that. He has been supported by them for 2 elections. Ex-President has blood on his hands. Big-Slavery supported him. I hope he can live with the fact that he has exploited humans and withhold their basic rights. I wish that Ex-President have a balls to handle this situation because I couldn't handle it and so as my conscience. Birgitte Fjerstad MP Independent |
| Date | 18:35:55, April 23, 2013 CET | From | Dranish Conservative Party | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Birgite Fjerstad is telling a blatant, scandalous lie and I demand that she withdraw. Neither myself nor the Dranish Conservative Pary has ever, ever had anything to do with supporting the terrible practice of slavery. Rafael Duvalle MP Minister of Justice |
| Date | 18:55:45, April 23, 2013 CET | From | Radical Liberal Party of Dranland | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker I present evidence, to all MPs that circle of shame is true and you can't hide it. In this two election results that Ex-President has been endorsed by Werin Da and this means he used their resources: http://classic.particracy.net/viewnews.php?newsid=376301 http://classic.particracy.net/viewnews.php?newsid=377324 In Werin Da's Official webpage, they open disclose their membership to Eilomax Company group, which is open endorsement of Slavery and it has been known that Eilomax give money to parties that is members of their group and in this case Werin Da and indirectly President Duvalle's election and reelection campaign http://classic.particracy.net/viewparty.php?partyid=18932 Can he oppose that? Birgitte Fjerstad MP Independent |
| Date | 19:43:38, April 23, 2013 CET | From | Drania Cívica 🏴 시민당 | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, If political endorsements are determinants of an president's attitudes and actions, then why does my government exist? Our current president was endorsed by the SJP, a party of the far-left and a party with which the KSDP has often voted contrarily to. I do not believe Werin Da's endorsement of Duvalle's candidacy connect him to Eilomax. Ms Fjestad is knowingly telling a lie to this parliament and to the people of Dranland. Why does our Speaker not do his job and remove Fjerstad from parliament for her distortions. This is part of the problem we are having with the Dranish Government, we have an anarchic discourse and its gone on for so long that lies, distortion, and vile language have become the norm. This must end immediately! Prime Minister Rhee Seung-uk |
| Date | 20:15:23, April 23, 2013 CET | From | Radical Liberal Party of Dranland | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker Why does PM always wants to sack MPs that uses their freedom of speech sacked for the parliament. Does he want to create his dictatorship and supress the opposition. Werin Da endorsed Ex-President and give him resources. Those resources that Werin Da gave came from Eilomax, at least some of it. I agree with PM on one thing something's need to change. Government should stop oppressing the opposition. Birgitte Fjerstad MP Leader of the Opposition OOC: Except CLD everyone supports the government and with CLD inactive, I declared myself as leader of the opposition. |
| Date | 20:16:13, April 23, 2013 CET | From | Popular Action Party 인기있는 행동 | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The SJP made a great mistake endorsing neo-liberal President Sun and will certainly not repeat it PM Rhee can relax about that one. To Mr. Duvalle, stop the demagoguery I never accused the RFR of being an Elilomax party but rather asked them to declare in whose interest they work. Eurwyn Rhys MP SJP Chairman |
| Date | 20:22:02, April 23, 2013 CET | From | Drania Cívica 🏴 시민당 | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | OOC: I'm not suggesting sacking the MPs; I'm referring to the ability of the Speaker to temporarily remove MPs, as has been done in Britain. I'm not overly familiar with this power though, since I'm an American. |
| Date | 20:23:46, April 23, 2013 CET | From | Radical Liberal Party of Dranland | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | OOC: PM to suggest that is not happen in UK and I like to distort things a little bit |
| Date | 00:46:02, April 24, 2013 CET | From | Dranish Conservative Party | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, neither I, nor the DCP, and nor - to my knowledge - Werin Da have any connection to Eilomax or slavery. Birgitte Fjerstad needs to get her facts right for once. She should also refrain from styling herself "Leader of the Oppositon" since she represents nobody in Parliament apart from herself. Rafael Duvalle MP Ministe of Justice |
| Date | 07:43:36, April 24, 2013 CET | From | Radical Liberal Party of Dranland | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker Ex-President Duvalle has been blinded by his ignorance and bias. Can't he see that in Party Organisation of Werin Da that they are member of Eilomax. Birgitte Fjerstad Leader of Opposition |
| Date | 13:29:17, April 24, 2013 CET | From | Dranish Conservative Party | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I have never seen any evidence that Werin Da has ever had any connection with Eilomax or slavery. These are grave allegations, and as she knows, the slave trade is strictly forbidden in Dranland. Rafael Duvalle MP Minister of Justice |
| Date | 14:14:56, April 24, 2013 CET | From | Radical Liberal Party of Dranland | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker Werin Da is a member of Eilomax's party organisation, that organisation actively supports slavery and expected this from their members. Werin Da is pro-slavery and endorsed by pro-slavery party and using their funds is open endorsement of slavery. Ex-President Duvalle please speak on the evidence and try to prove I am wrong because I proved you are supported by a pro-slavery party. Birgitte Fjerstad MP Leader of Opposition |
| Date | 14:19:50, April 24, 2013 CET | From | Dranish Conservative Party | To | Debating the Public Option Only Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I can only repeat that I know nothing about any connection between Werin Da and Eilomax. Nor has any such connection ever been demonstrated. Both myself and the DCP are utterly opposed to slavery, and I deeply resent her suggestion that we endorse it in any way. Rafael Duvalle MP Minister of Justice |
