Voting deadline: December 4142
Description[?]:
| Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the Luthorian Worker's Party, on behalf of the working class, on behalf of the poor, on behalf of the marginalized, on the forgotten, and on the downtrodden. I rise today to speak on their behalf. To be a voice where they have none. For far too long, thanks the National Conservative Party and to the ever corrupt Hosian Democratic Union, thanks to the administration ran by Aaron Richardson and Kenneth Buckley, those who work hard, day after day, to scrape out a meager existence have been forgotten and ignored. This government, under their watch, has turned a blind eye to all who are not incredibly wealthy and powerful. For too long this government has pursued an agenda that would only benefit the fat cats in the financial industry, particularly Prime Minister Buckley ultra rich friends at Watkins Brown Group PLC, Renou Holdings PLC, and Delamare PLC. For too long our government has been ran by the rich, powerful, and politically well connected for the rich, powerful, and politically well connected. It is time for us to come to full stop and to reverse course. It is time for us to return to a government of, for, and by the people of this country. It is time for us to pursue policy and an agenda that will help the everyday people of this country. |
