| Message | Madam Speaker, I know that the UNP and Hutori Interests are extremist parties, but I didn't expect them to be undemocratic and perhaps plainly dictatorical parties. This is truly worrisome. Lucas Hentze President Party Leader Radical Alliance |

| Message | Madam Speaker, We are not undemocratic by any means, if and when we enter government, the people of Hutori will have voted us into power. The Radical Alliance is a personality cult. Hence why our president is the only person on behalf of them, that is truely worrisome. Vladimir Reznikov Leader of the Ultranationalist Party |
