| Message | Madam Speaker, I will not even consider debating such a populistic and antidemocratic bill. I would just like to say that we will never even consider letting the Ultranationalist Party inside our folds. Extremism and populism is never a good idea. Lucas Hentze President Party Leader Radical Alliance |
| Date | 16:24:47, October 09, 2014 CET | From | Ultranationalist Party | To | Debating the Nationalist Act (May 3740) |
| Message | Madam Speaker, Although we respect and applaud the president for his honesty, we never anticipated he or his party's co-operation, nor did we ever intend upon entering government with his party. As we have previously stated, we will do what is necessary, even if we must do it alone. Anatoly Tutnev Chairman of the Ultranationalist Party |
| Date | 18:31:58, October 09, 2014 CET | From | Ultranationalist Party | To | Debating the Nationalist Act (May 3740) |
| Message | Madam Speaker, We are not surprised by this mysterious Charles Carmichael, who is he, where does he come from, he and his party are after all some of the main catalysts of the country's chaotic decision to create a federation. We implore he and his affiliates to speak up. We are and will remain bewildered as to how they were able to obtain any credibility on the back of such silence. All constituents must be informed. Anatoly Tutnev Chairman of the Ultranationalist Party |
| Date | 20:20:34, October 09, 2014 CET | From | Federal Heritage Party of Hutori | To | Debating the Nationalist Act (May 3740) |
| Message | Madam Speaker, It is the view of the Federalist Party that these totalitarian policies which include censorship, denial of aid to those in need and the blatant intrusion in to the lives of people is against the will of said people. It is therefore an affront to Republican and Democratic ideologies and as such we cannot support this bill. Charles Carmichael Party Leader Federalist Party |
| Date | 21:48:44, October 09, 2014 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the Nationalist Act (May 3740) |
| Message | Madam Speaker, I am truly horrified by this bill, and frankly, by the fascist party the has proposed it. Never in my time as a servant of the people of Hutori have I seen such a bill that would be as detrimental to our society as this. The only accomplishment that this bill would have is the institution of a government that systematically robs the people of this nation of their freedom. Therefore, I call everyone in the Congress - Conservative, Liberal, Capitalist or Socialist - to join together to protect the freedom and integrity of this nation. Together, we must bring these fascists to their knees and stand for liberty and Democracy. Francois Neveu General Secretary of the Democratic Socialist Party |
| Date | 16:55:51, October 10, 2014 CET | From | Ultranationalist Party | To | Debating the Nationalist Act (May 3740) |
| Message | Madam Speaker We are quite frankly tired of DSP politicians calling us fascists, when we are not fascists, when we are nationalists and proud nationalists at that. That said, at the moment fascist parties have more credibility than the DSP, who appear to go into power with anybody, willing to welcome them into the fold. They are clearly not a party of convictions, but clearly a party of political opportunism. |
| Date | 17:07:50, October 10, 2014 CET | From | Radical Alliance | To | Debating the Nationalist Act (May 3740) |
| Message | Madam Speaker, It is no secret that the DSP and RA are two different parties, but both of us wish to create a more free and equal society for everyone. So I ask; why not cooperate with the party you have most in common with? Should the DSP instead cooperate with you, FP or PP? That would not make any sense when we have a parliamentary majority together. Lucas Hentze President Party Leader Radical Alliance |
