| Message | "So, capitalists, can I ask, why not you all support this? This all are libertarian ideas as well it gives MORE capitalism because a Noble works for his position. That's capitalism folks. As well on to the other articles. 4 is a simple Liberty we deny and the others are to end this police state over Luthori" Vladimir Armstrong Leader of the LPU |

| Message | Mr Speaker Firstly Mr Armstrong, the bill is immoral and rotten to the core. Think of the poor children who would be so confused... Who knows what damage you will cause? You don't care of our traditions and look to weaken the police on preparation of your revolution Henry Lawson leader of the Conservative Right |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, May I remind you that Nobles do have to work for their position, in fact the entire nobility system is fairly meritocratic, with the "merchant" class out ranking the landed classes with the title of Prince. The landed class have a role in the government by birthright, but the empire has in the past, and I am sure it will continue to be in the future, been very straight forward on what is acceptable and what is not of those holding title of nobility. I yield. |
