| Message | Mr Speaker, This absurd 'monopoly' argument against public ownership has already been comprehensively debunked. We do not wish to repeat ourselves here. To the working people of RutaniaI simply say: observe R!R marching through the division lobby with their new allies the Libertarians, and make note of their death as a vehicle for progressive politics. Claire Watkinson Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Rutania |

| Message | Mr Speaker, One thing is certain. This election has proven that socialism is no longer the people's hope. The people and our party has evolved, in realizing that neither complete liberarainism nor complete communism is good for the Commonwealth. Instead, social democracy and a balanced, sustainable approach should be taken. That is why we have proposed laws that the the left, or the right would agree on. Just like driving, we believe our nation should look left, look right and go straight forward. Oswin Gerard MP Khodor |

| Message | Mr Speaker, There is no basis in fact for that assertion. Two of the three largest parties in the House of Representatives are socialist parties, and both enjoy considerably more support than the washed-up R!R. Nor do we accept R!R claiming the mantle of Social Democracy ... they are middle-class liberals, pure and simple, and have adopted the usual liberal doctrine of centrism. We in the DSPR reject fallacious appeals to moderation, centrism, and bipartisanship, which in the political climate of Rutania means in practice achieving a balance between good and evil, truth and lies. While parties like the Libertarians and the CUP still exist, we will not accept such compromise. R!R must tell the people of Rutania: which side are you on? Claire Watkinson Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Rutania |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I think it's improtant that I point out to the dictator Claire Watkinson, that I'm not working together with the R!R. We don't agree with their ideas and conceptions of freedom. However we encourage the R!R bipartisanship and comprising to make sure Rutania gets a bit of both. Rep. Alayna Hackett, Leader LP |
