| Message | Mr Speaker, perhaps the extreme left should tone down their revolutionary emotionalism and stop portraying themselves as the party of "the masses" after it was exactly those masses who rejected the totalitarian ideas of the communist bloc for the third consecutive time by a landslide. Apparently the left-wing elite is too aloof to recognize the real sentiments of "the masses", which are completely out of line with the policies the reds are promoting.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The left could probably accomplish more if it didn't constantly take the route of trying to impose huge omnibus bills upon Parliament. There are articles in this legislation my party would support, but we obvious we will not support yet another communist omnibus. The basis of this bill is ridiculous to be honest. In one article you're expanding access to abortion and in another establishing state-owned banks and a national fire department. This bill has as much vision as the communist movement itself. This is thrown together nonsense and it has forced a continuation of the status quo on issues which we could've sympathized. Alejandro Xi Marcelino, MP KDF Chairman Member for Elbian |
