| Message | This bill is a conglomeration of xenophobic, discriminatory, and backward ideas. Passing such a bill will result in the Empire becoming more draconian. |
| Date | 12:47:48, June 09, 2016 CET | From | Liberal Party | To | Debating the CR reforms |
| Message | "This bill is outright evil--discriminatory and full of hatred. This bill should FALL." - Harry McFarrow, leader of the Liberal Party |
| Date | 13:53:03, June 09, 2016 CET | From | Conservative Right | To | Debating the CR reforms |
| Message | Mr Speaker, There is nothing evil about this. It's a bill that will secure Luthori. Please do tell how this is evil? Anders Borg, Finance Minster |
| Date | 15:07:17, June 09, 2016 CET | From | Imperial Conservative Union (IA) | To | Debating the CR reforms |
| Message | OOC: For the new parties. On my to-do-list, which never seems to end or have time for it seems, i will make a welcome to Luthori 101. Anyway, when we talk in the Diet we preface with Mr. Speaker and end with either the person's name who is speaking, the words "I yield," or both. |
| Date | 15:37:18, June 09, 2016 CET | From | National Liberal Party | To | Debating the CR reforms |
| Message | OOC: I'm sure had one at some point? Or did it get cleared out (Progress Party here~) |
| Date | 16:16:10, June 09, 2016 CET | From | Imperial Conservative Union (IA) | To | Debating the CR reforms |
| Message | OOC: I think it got deleted at some point. Plus things are really out of date on what we do have. Wiki is something I don't think I will ever get to. |
| Date | 17:34:34, June 09, 2016 CET | From | National Liberal Party | To | Debating the CR reforms |
| Message | OOC: I'll set up a discussion bill, I can do wiki |
| Date | 20:57:24, June 09, 2016 CET | From | Liberal Party | To | Debating the CR reforms |
| Message | OOC: When I sent the message, our party is not in the Diet yet, so it would be inappropriate for us to address the Speaker when we talk about the issue at hand. Thus, our leader, Harry McFarrow sends out press releases for us to still air our views and stance. Thanks. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
