| Message | Mr. Speaker, We fund many things that a person or the people may disagree with personally. From the military to the death penalty, you need to make huge cuts to conservational fields and give us good reasoning for it all before we even consider the magic the HDU believes economics to work, this includes that without these state funds, we'd be taking from our members, Workers Councils, and Unions, which can give us much more then the state can. But we survive on principle and reality and not on a mad dash for momentary economic growth which in reality would doom our economy in the long run... because the rich bringing up profits, cutting wages and costs, and raising prices will eventually throw us into a depression like we've observed in our and other nations past. I comdemn these corporate hacks to go sit in a corner, Luthori's economy may not be the biggest but it works for us all. That is all humanity could every ask for, I yield, Liberty Genn LPU Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I and my party understand why the LPU opposed this when our party proposed it. I and my party now recognize that we must seperate ourselves from certain 'strains' of Capitalism. If campaigns are to be privately financed we must place the regulations to stop corporations creating parties to represent their corrupt and twisted view. We must prevent the capitalist system being abused for political gain. We must instead build a strong Luthori based on transparency and fairness. John Rees CA-BC Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Business is business. The good old days of Luthori in the 3900s are long-gone. Instead, we have the unthinkable: socialism in Luthori. We must chop the head off the union snake in order to liberate capital in this country. Let us unleash a wave of prosperity to the masses with free enterprise and free markets! I will note that I am pragmatic and am willing to compromise with parties of all dispositions. I yield. Kenneth Buckley |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I'd rather see a Liberal Socialist party leading Luthori than the Authoritarian Capitalist parties such as the Republicans. The Blue Crowns message is clear - leave our economic freedoms, such as the right to a Democratic Workplace, and our social freedoms, such as fair elections without corporations buying our candidates, alone and we might take the time to listen to you. John Rees CA-BC Leader |
