| Message | Mr. Speaker, The government clearly has a shocking agenda against women and minorities. The country must unite against the rise of far-right discrimination. - Cathleen Forrest (Representative for Delvar), Green Party Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker Far-right discrimination? Again political correctness gone too far. Any form of discrimination (also positive) disadvantages a group of people, to stop this we're banning any form of discrimination. When something has to stop it is the far-left discrimination that's threatening Rutanian citizen. Rep. Jerome Hunter, Deputy Leader LP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The government has savagely slashed public services which many women and ethnic minorities rely on. The government has only included one woman in the cabinet and no ethnic minorities. Now they're trying to remove the only mechanism in place which aims to provide equality for people who - quite frankly - have been discriminated against for much of Rutania's history. This isn't political correctness - this is an attempt to address an injustice. Instead, the Libertarians would rather stick to their rigid ideological crusade. - Cathleen Forrest (Representative for Delvar), Green Party Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I think it's funny public services are being brought up here. That is a topic I don't want to touch here since it belongs somewhere else, but those who are considered poor or low-income get public services subsidised. Also I didn't know that it was a have must nowadays to have cabinet existing out of only women and ethnic minorities. Yes, some people have been discriminated in the past, not nowadays. So I thinks it is unnecessary to force companies to hire less skilled workers only because they have a colour or a female gender, because that's- "quite frankly"- not only negative discrimination against Rutanians but also oppressing for companies that want to hire the best. I think the Green Party's continuously pressing for discrimination against Rutanians is very harmful for our peaceful society and the result will not be - as the Green Party thinks- less discrimination against ethnic minorities, but more [discrimination], because Rutanians will feel unjustly disadvantaged. Instead of trying to insult the Libertarian Party and justify everything the cruel left ideology stands for, the Green Party should put distance between itself and the communistic oppressing ideology they're beginning to touch now.
