Description[?]:
| Maybe a few of you know the PLCA strance on positive discrimination. We believe that everyone, no matter how marganilised they can be, have the right to be employed, there is no such as a right to discrimination and it aint normal that most of the job in the country are held only by Luthoran speaker, Canrillaise, Alorian, Augustan, Durfodian, just to a few of the "minorities" are being discriminated agaisnt, we don't believe that is acceptable. I ask the government to enact positive discrimination, to make minorities are correctly represented in place of powers and in businesses. Gender Equality Guild LGBTO leader 3 : Ramsey Trudeau |

| Message | This is absurd. The most qualified person for the job deserves it. Quite frankly, it is racist to deny someone a job when they are more qualified than someone solely based on their race. President Burgmuller |

| Message | I am aware of the opposition to positive discrimination by the conservative, but positive discrimination means that if two person have equal skill, the minority always wins, until a certain quota is fufill, it is not LGBT supremacy Gender Equality Guild LGBTO leader 3 : Ramsey Trudeau |

| Message | Mr Speaker, In Baltusia we believe in a meritocracy. Despite what Ramsey Trudeau says no two candidates are the same. If their CVs show they have equal qualifications, employers should look at other aspects of the candidate not fall back on lazy recruitment techniques like filling minority quotas! How can you say you stand for equality when you use phrases like: "if two people have equal skills, the minority always wins..."? Xander Fisk Patriotic Party Leader |

| Message | Mr Trudeau, Firstly, I will say that the LGBT community are represented in Government (though not much): Peter Woods, the Infrastructure and Transport Secretary is homosexual. And whilst I understand your concerns for discrimination against minorities, I don't believe that positive discrimination is the correct way to combat it. BDGP Chairwoman Elyse Wood |
