| Message | This bill is extremely isolationist, and certainly wont help where we stand in Terra |
| Date | 07:43:34, November 10, 2015 CET | From | National Party of Luthori | To | Debating the Protecting Luthori's Borders Act of 3935 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, This Act is a necessary measure to ensure the safety of citizens. Why should we leave the door open to a possible threat? Plus, why is this government so keen on giving high amounts of aid to developing countries when Luthori is currently running a -3,352,900,562 LPD deficit. |
| Date | 12:33:29, November 10, 2015 CET | From | Luthori Liberal Democrats | To | Debating the Protecting Luthori's Borders Act of 3935 |
| Message | A debt in times of low interest rates is not necessarily a bad thing. This bill is completely isolationist and dangerous to our country's community feeling and spirit. |
| Date | 21:42:30, November 10, 2015 CET | From | National Party of Luthori | To | Debating the Protecting Luthori's Borders Act of 3935 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The current debt will only continue to grow with this governments incompetence in all things financial. The economy simply cannot keep funneling out high amounts of money to developing countries when Luthori can't even sustain itself. |
| Date | 05:12:19, November 11, 2015 CET | From | United Luthori | To | Debating the Protecting Luthori's Borders Act of 3935 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, As the member from the LLDP has stated, in times of low interest rates, deficits are a sign of growth. My government will continue to fund defense and education but will make cuts elsewhere in order to once again have a budget surplus. The member from the Reform Party is incorrect in saying we are in debt as for many years, the Luthori government has been running budget surpluses. I can assure the member that we are not in debt and still have trillions of Luthori Pounds in the treasury. Imperial Chancellor Peter Buckley MD Leader of the PCP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I would like to add that this bill is also damaging to Luthori's reputation as a global participant. This government will continue to maintain an internationalist policy. Imperial Chancellor Peter Buckley |
| Date | 21:02:00, November 11, 2015 CET | From | National Party of Luthori | To | Debating the Protecting Luthori's Borders Act of 3935 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We would like it to be known that on this day the so-called Tories have decided to side with the leftists of this great nation. This isn't about Luthori's position in global politics, it's about protecting Luthorian citizens. We will be actively campaigning that a vote for our party is a vote for a strong and protected border. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
