| Message | Mr Speaker, We would like to propose a neutral, appointed by the Monarch, speaker for our national diet. |

| Message | Rt Hon Harold Clarke MP, Leader of the Opposition, Mr Speaker, the Hutorian Conservative Party nominates the Hon Louise Cameron MP for the position of Speaker of the House of Parliament. Ms Cameron has served this Parliament and the people of the city of Kincardine since the reformation of the Hutorian Conservative Party, having previously served in local government as an independant candidate. We believe she would be an ideal candidate having shown a commitment to carry out the duties of her office both locally and nationally and we feel that this background is an ideal one to carry out the functions that the Speaker of the House is required to undertake. We hope that all parties concur with our judgement of Ms Cameron and support her once the nominations stage closes. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We do hope that you take our proposal serious... As it is not specified within the Speaker of the House act that the person must come from a political party. We do feel that the interests of the national diet could be more defended if we would have a neutral person in charge, in which we prefer that our Monarch would propose such a candidate. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker the Federalist Party nominates the Hon MP Jacqueline Naught for the position of Speaker while Ms. Naught does not have as much experience as the HCP candidate she has served parliament faithfully for the past 6 years and as proposed a few of the recent reforms to Hutorian law such as the Bill that partially privatized the Defense Industry. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, with no other candidates having been put forward by the other parties, the Hon Louise Cameron MP of the Hutorian Conservative Party has been elected Speaker of the House of Parliament by default. Therefore all parties should from henceforth address the House, "Madam Speaker". |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We believe that there is or at least was another candidate. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, under the current circumstances we are not going to support the election of a new Speaker until an election is held with the two candidates above. We would also like to announce that the Shed Party is not contesting the office at this time. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, unfortunately the Federalist candidate was not nominated within the alloted 8 month nomination period as outlined within the Bill which determines the elction of a new Speaker. There can be no change to procedure due to neglect on one or more parties end. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, also it should be noted that the yes or no vote is irrelevant as per this act. The real vote has already been determined. |
