| Message | Mr Speaker, Restore democracy and free the economy my head! What the BTP wants is to reverse our successful communist system which has improved the lives of our comrades greatly, even more great when our nation still had capitalist policies under the now defunct fake progressive party NLP. With the regulation of the economy by socialists and communists, income equality is 100%, with the top 10% poor earning the same income as the top 10% rich (180,500 to 180,500), unemployment is down from pre-BRRP levels of 18.9% to 0.52% now, through the destruction of the capitalism and the private sector. The rich people are paying their fair share of taxes and Beluzia has had a budget surplus for more than 30 years, education rates are up from 70% pre-BRRP to 99% now, corruption is at a new low, from 15,000 cases pre-BRRP to only 10 cases now etc etc. And the BTP wants to reverse all the things that we have done and go back to a time when we had a split of conservative and progressive parties which resulted in years of political dysfunction? It is only because the rise of my party and other liberal parties that forced out all these corrupt conservatives, because when our forces combined, we had enough votes to pass liberal policies and as the nation became more liberal, the conservatives started to realise that a conservative Beluzia was not able to be achieved and they disbanded. Now, we are a socialist nation and people have constantly reelected us, as they know that we can bring real change, compared to conservatives, who can only bring in corruption, crime, racists, homophobic etc. So vote No if you want progress and not backwards progress.
