| Message | Mr Speaker, The fact that the conservative forces in Parliament are clearly labelling criminals as non-human, by denying them the most basic of rights in Rutania, is something I and my party see as a disgrace. This will leave a deep scar in the international image of our country. Ronald Williams, Alliance leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, These people are criminals; they have committed crimes and should not be rewarded with the right to vote. Why must the liberal parties in the nation reward actions that are counter-culture and clearly toxic to the health of the nation? If anything, the international community mocks us for our policies towards criminals. Ryan Bachmeier UPR Congressional Leader |

| Message | Under current law, EX-felons are allowed to vote, but criminals should not be allowed to vote. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, So what the Urbans are saying, is that democracy is a privilege? One that is to be rewarded to only the people who do as we say? Then it is not a democracy, nor does Rutania practice universal suffrage. Why don't we consider renaming our Republic to a "People's Republic" right away - our nation's current laws seem to be pulled right out of one? Ronals Williams, Alliance leader |
