| Message | Mr Speaker, It would seem that the LPU would want this country to be less safe. To harm this country. First they want to take away all powers of the police to catch the most horrible criminals and possible rebels. And then they throw out all sense of morals and religion to accept marriages with more than two people....what's next? Allow bestiality? Necrophilia? How dare you?!

| Message | "Mr. Speaker" "We're not limiting powers of arrest but rather regulating the arms that the police can hold professionally. How about you think before you ask? Is it that hard? If so shut up, the police in this nation are more dangerous then any communist or civilian milita. Sometimes the police do wrong by us, for example shooting us with their lethal force in the back, to kill, shut your mutty mouth!" Vladimir Armstrong Leader of the LPU |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Perhaps you should learn some bloody manners before you come in here next time! The Police would have no reason to open fire at you if you did not pose a threat. Instead of bringing up proposals that would only gain your gang of rejects...Get a proposal that would help the nation as a whole. This would undermine the police. And only a communist like yourself would allow more than two people to get married...Shame! Henry Lawson leader of the moderate party |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Or maybe it's the Moderates that need to learn some bloody manners! Some religions are based on marriages between more than two people. There is nothing wrong with it if it is part of a recognised religion. There are gun laws for a reason! The police need military grade weapons to fight a few thugs or shoplifters with a knife. "Oh there is a shoplifter with a knife, Bob, get the RPG". Surely the Moderates are racist to suggest marriage has to be between two people. Other religions believe different things. Maybe Henry Lawson could let other people of the party speak apart from himself! (Cheering from Moderate & PUM Benches as well as booing from Moderate front benches) Martin Adams PUM Culture |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Of cource it's not racist to dislike polygamous marriage. It IS sexist to let a man be unfaithful to his most loved and romantically entwined wife. No more with these wile marragies! Let women be repected by their man, and not cast aside for 10 others! Also, it never says specifically in any religion the amount of wives a man should or can have.

| Message | Mr Speaker, Our leader was elected just that because we have faith in him. While we all understand that you have no faith in yours...we sure do. And to call us racist is just ugly! This party was founded on family values and for those who wish to work. The opposite of the PUM. This party stands for traditional values that have made this country strong! I demand that Martin takes back his statement about our party! Not only that but i think i understand why Mr Adams and his leader oppose the police being properly equipped. It's because they know that their activists are the ones doing the evil and are in risk. Alexis Baxter, candidate for Foreign Affairs |

| Message | Mr Speaker, How dare Alexis even emply I participate in evil activities. Your party was founded on a nuclear family? Oh wow, that's great. You represent about 20% of middle class families, well done. Sadly the majority of families aren't nuclear! I'll let you know that the PUM has never encouraged violence! This includes the CUP! The police do not need military grade equipment and knowing several policemen my self they all stated that they were scared of the weapons they had and would never use them.

| Message | Mr Speaker, In response I Larissa I'd like to point out that if religion has no voice in the amount of people in a marriage it is no place for the state to intervene. If several women would like to get married to one man so be it. Martin Adams PUM Culture |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
