| Message | Blue Collar and Farmers Union my ass. You are just representing fuckin leftists |

| Message | Mr. Speaker May the Assemblyman from the NCP please be civil. First, it is important to note that not every rural or blue collar worker is a conservative. People have opinions and some are not conservative, can you imagine that? Second, may we not use that kind of language in the debate hall. We are supposed to have a degree of professionalism in here. Can we save the mindless shouting for the campaign trail? All you are doing at this point is not contributing to the debate and making your party and this entire assembly a laughing stock. |

| Message | To the NCP, It is funny that you assume these people aren't leftist. Also if you want to fight me you can just say. But on a a serious note in the last election we were the party who have gotten the most votes from both Farmers and Blue Collar Unions. Heck, in the beginning of our creation we were a literal union. now I am sorry you are mad at the election results but you don't have to say that i have false advertising even though i do not. I am really sorry people could possibly disagree with you. HOW ALFUL!!!!! -President James Horrell |

| Message | The sensible parties must rally together to reject this proposal! Article 8 is particular grotesque and will utterly annihilate the private sector. |
