Message | Mr Speaker We are confused, why is our chancellor trying to impose curfews? This is most illiberal. Dean Trump Leader of New Choice |
Date | 12:01:53, January 31, 2016 CET | From | Choice | To | Debating the National Security Act |
Message | Mr Speaker We would like to back up our comment with this. There is no need to establish a curfew, it is illiberal and the communists don't pose that high a threat. We would also like to point out that at this time, our national military backing up our police would actually be BENEFICIAL to help avoiding a civil war. Dean Trump Leader of New Choice |

Message | Mr Speaker When the communist threat is gone, we'll revoke the curfew. This is a question past ideologies. We need to defend our democracy. I yield. Madeleine Bassett Chancellor |

Message | Mr Speaker Hmm. Then we reluctantly vote in favour, but know that your party is partially to blame for this, for legalizing paramilitaries in the first place. You have let this nation down! Dean Trump Leader of New Choice |

Message | Mr. Speaker, This nation has had paramilitaries before! It was the LPU that ruined it! Once this mess is solved we can go back to having paramilitaries that are run by sane parties. Mr. Trump can save the finger pointing, he is responsible as it was his party's protestors who were present at rally when the LPU militias attacked police. I yield |

Message | Mr Speaker So you propose going BACK to allowing paramilitaries AFTER this crisis is over? This WILL happen AGAIN in the future, there will always be less than orthodox parties out there! The danger of having paramilitaries legal is that this sort of problem is possible, and now it's happened! There's no wriggling out of this one, you are partly responsible for this madness, this chaos, this expense and this bleak hour in our new Commonwealth's young history. And as for your counter attack on ME, please can I note that our party has nothing to do with protestors holding up our party's sign. These protesters are from the very furthest left of our electorate, have more in common with the LPU and also do NOT have our party's endorsement, whilst in the other hand the leadership and MPs in the LPU itself are outright supporting this civil war. Our party wants peace. Peace is more likely to prevail when every political party doesn't wave around a private army at their disposal! Dean Trump Leader of New Choice |

Message | Mr. Speaker, When the LPU is vanquished it will serve as a lesson to all those who wish to defy our government. And as much as Choice wants to blame the more militarist parties for this debacle we must chalk it to an institutional failure that could have been avoided with better government regulation of paramilitaries. This would not have happened with the HSP was in government instead of opposition. All sitting parties are to blame for their lack of oversight. If this situation is not resolved we will have no choice but to call for early elections! I yield |

Message | Mr. Speaker, We applaud the swift actions taken not only by the Chancellor, but by the opposition coming together to support this temporary measure. |
Date | 19:09:14, January 31, 2016 CET | From | Liberal Alliance | To | Debating the National Security Act |
Message | Mr Speaker, Brothers, sisters, Luthorians. I stand here before you as your Chancellor of the Commonwealth, not as a Partyleader of a political party. Today are the first steps towards a free society taken, a society not threatened by communist and authoritarian powers. The security on our streets are one of the most important issues for a democracy. We may be conservatives, liberals, centrists or social democrats or socialist. But if we all agree on democracy we all have a friend in each other. When democracy is threatened, let us all join in under one, uniting flag, that is our beloved flag of our country and of our ancestors. I guarantee you, luthorians, that I and my party will never stop fighting for human rights and democracy. We shall never stop fighting for freedom of speech and civil liberties. A society that is'nt free is'nt alive, it's dead and rotten. Our citizens deserves better than that. Let's all established parties take our responsibility and push this vermin out from our free and democratic nation! Fascist or communists, they are the children of the same evil. The evil that oppress and murder humans and has done so several times in history. Let us sweep this scum back to hell where it belongs. These proposed temporary measures will guarantee our streets clean and safe. I will not rest until the communist threat is gone and I am happy that all democratical parties is supporting the Cabinet's National Security Act. Let us fight for freedom, democracy and liberty! Luthori will be free forever! I yield! Madeleine Bassett Chancellor of the Republic *Members of the House stands applauding and cheering* *Applaudes are drowned by audience singing the refrain of the national anthem:* "Hail Luthori, land of honour and glory. Standing for the people. Chosen to be free Set us free from tyranny of the past, Fight for the Liberty we have achieved, long live our New Republic! Liberty, Liberty above all. The people are with us. Beacon of hope for terra's Liberty. Our free land, our glorious land, long live our Republic!" |

Message | Vladimir stands up looking around anger on his face "We are the ones for Liberty! We save life's when the others kill and murder! Yet the nation is up in arms against us, as if we're here to enslave and rule with an iron fist!" said the communist his hands shaking "And poor Elizabeth is dying of stress and blames the actions of the true authoritarians on herself!" He shouted pointing to the LA and HSP "Yet you act as if you care for us! Stop lying royalist scum" snarled Armstrong |
Date | 19:21:56, January 31, 2016 CET | From | Hosian Socialist Party | To | Debating the National Security Act |
Message | Mr. Speaker, We demand the immediate censure of MP Armstrong from this house! I yield |
