Message | Mr. Speaker, It is clear that Lib and VLN both are hostile against our nation, our monarch, and our Church. They wish to undermine what makes this nation stable, as if they want to return us to a time when rioting was prevalent, order was nil, and yes, when pornography was unrestricted. (PM smirks at opposition leader as MPs laugh). I'd like to remind the right honorable gentleman of our nation's situation during the rule of Mr. Lickstein. He had thrown this nation off the track of culture, tradition, and conservatism. Where did that bring us? He alone has put Vorona back 20 years behind the average Terran nation! And now it seems, right when we Conservatives have installed faith and stability, that another revolutionary party wishes to take power away from His Majesty and place it in the hands of the irresponsible, the vile, and the treacherous. (Conservative MPs nod and make noises of agreement). We Conservatives have spent the last two years building this nation up from recent ruins. We've opened schools, lowered taxes, cut environmental regulations, fought unions, and most importantly, have restored the monarchy and the Voronan Church. Now I can understand if Lib don't want to be active participants in the Church, but they should at least, Mr. Speaker, at least show respect to the Church and its importance in our history. What is not optional, however, is loyalty and allegiance to His Majesty the King. The monarchy is a nonpartisan entity and is the head of state of the Kingdom of Vorona! (Conservative MPs agree and begin growing reckless.) We are all his loyal citizens and he is our monarch, and it has come time for Lib to take their heads out of the sands and face the facts! If Lib, and VLN for that matter, wish to pledge allegiance to someone other than the King, then let them go to a damn republic! (Conservative MPs roar in agreement and wave papers at Lib). Prime Minister Cromwell |

Message | Mr Speaker, The only difference and progress we see in the last few years, since the VCP is in power, is the diminishing loss of personal freedoms, is this what the VCP calls progress? Yet another shameful and empty rhetoric coming from the VCP dictatorship. (massive roar and applause on the lib benches) |
Date | 08:30:31, November 30, 2014 CET | From | Vorona Conservative Party | To | Debating the Liberty from Religious oppression. |
Message | Mr. Speaker, Clearly Lib has not been catching up on the news. Rioting filled the streets. Schools were closed. Shops were closed. Churches were burned. There was no government. We Conservatives have accomplished many things, one of which is stability. Our campaign motto, "Building a better future for you", clearly shows that we've been hard at work to ensure the lives of the people are safe and prosperous. Lib has a radical ideology to destroy government. We believe government has a purpose, and we intend to continue that purpose. And may I say that the only dictatorship in recent memory is Mr. Lickstein, who is not unlike the right honorable gentlemen opposite. Prime Minister Cromwell |

Message | Mr. Speaker, The Libertarian Party is not in favor to abolish or destroy essential government duties such as policing and national defense. Yet another shameful lie coming from the mouths of our Prime Minister. We are in favor of minimum government with minimum responsibilities in such economical and personal freedom can exists in order to lift our nation out of this mess. All what the VCP is doing now is to enlarge government and public spending, with money we don't have, and diminish our personal freedoms. (roar on the lib backbenches) Celia Thompson Opposition Leader |
Date | 23:28:49, November 30, 2014 CET | From | Vorona Conservative Party | To | Debating the Liberty from Religious oppression. |
Message | Mr. Speaker, Lib is erroneous once again! (Conservative backbenchers nod in agreement.) If the right honorable gentlewoman is unaware of our current budget, let me explain it to her now! The deficit for every fiscal year from the time Mr. Lickstein took power to last year when the Conservatives reformed the budget was 17,000 DNT. It was the Conservatives that proposed the new budget that cut the deficit by nearly 99%, and yet we are still funding parts of the government. Now, let me provide a bit of information to Lib that will surely blow their minds. We Conservatives believe in "efficient" government. Yes, that's right. We support government when it's run like a corporation. It costs the taxpayers a fraction of what it did under the Lickstein Administration, and it sure makes sure this nation is being run properly. Now if Lib isn't aware, it was the policies under Mr. Lickstein that led to the rioting of 3763 and the complete disorder that plagued this nation until we took power two years ago! (Conservative MPs cheer and jeer) Prime Minister Cromwell |
