| Message | Mr. Speaker This isn't a "free markets" act. This is a slap in the face to the workers act. You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves. You sit up there on your decadent chairs with your noses in the air like, and you pass laws the repress and hurt the productive class in this nation. We will rise. As I am speaking trade unions across the nation are going on general strike to stop this legislation, and I doubt that this bill passing will stop them from striking. |

| Message | MADAM Speaker, This government speaks for he overwhelming majority of this nations citizens. We stand for free markets and free enterprise. We shall not allow this nation to be crippled by strikes and we shall not be held to ransom by the hollow and destructive threats of the party opposite. The mere insinuation that anyone shall 'rise up' against the sovereignty & authority of this Parliament is treason. Unlike the pack of disgruntled socialists opposite, this party, as well as the Tory party, have actual responsibilities. We carry the burdens of leadership day and daily and we shall not yield to this populist nonsense. Veronica Thornton Minister for Trade & Industry |

So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
