| Message | Ladies and Gentlemen, At this election you have a clear choice. A choice between the parties who want to spike taxes and stifle investment, the parties that want to reduce your choice and take your money, the parties that want to place red tape around our businesses until they leave. Or you have the choice to vote for the Centrist Alliance Presidential Candidate and the Republican Party for legislative elections. You have the choice to vote for the party that deepens the constitution, the party that introduces local accountability, the party that pumps and extra $5 billion BLD into the Baltusian Health Service and cuts tax for all. If you want to see A New Baltusian Century, then vote for the Republican Party on the 8th of December. Thank you. Congresswoman Lucy Andrews Leader of the Republican Party |

| Message | Ladies and Gentlemen, It is time for real change, for the last forty years you have been governed by the centrists and what has it given you? While many of our vital industries are in private ownership we have some of the lowest corporation tax in the world. It is clear who the Centrists Alliance stand for and it is those at the top in our society. Previously many of you have found us in the SSPB out of touch with the working class we represent, however now with me as leader we will fully support all of you in the workplace. There are three policies which form the foundation of our campaign: 1. Increasing corporation tax to 60%. 2. Instituting a major nationalization bill, to get your services back into your hands (payed for by the increase in corporation tax). 3. Ensuring all workers have more rights and higher status in the eyes in the law, than the companies which employ them.' Gilbert Combs (Leader of the Secularist, Socialist Party of Baltusia) |

| Message | Ladies and gentlemen Baltusia ha been ruled by a tyrannical government for to long now is the time to stand up and fight for your rights this is your chance, the RAC will Liberalise Baltusia by supporting abortions, free birth contraceptives, votes for teenagers, womens equality and a secular state, lets get this country into the modern age. We will invest in renewable clean energy and ban Fracking, we will increase regulations on big business and lower taxes for the poor while raising taxes of large companies and the upper class, we will Nationalise all major industries as well as trains, the post office, water, and electricity, we will make public transport free, scrap useless tuition fees, and help homeless people find a home and a job and we will support new technologies and science in Baltusia, we will also make sure everyone has access to mental health care as well as normal healthcare And finally we will put forwards a new plan for our senior citizens to subsidise care and support for them The only way to achieve this is a vote for the left Bloc and the RAC We are ever your servants Thank you Bella Ciston RAC Leader |

| Message | Citizens of Baltusia, The Patriotic Party has been the most popular single party in Congress over the last century and part of the governing coalition for no less than 95 out of the last 110 years. Think about that... It is an incredible feat but one that is based on a simple and clear truth: you trust us. *You trust us to be tough on crime and to make sure our country is defended against undesirable internal and outside elements. *You trust us to champion the rights of honest, hard working citizens and free Baltusian businesses of the shackles that hamper their expansion. *You trust us to defend the rights of liberal Hosian people and strike hard at fundamentalism or those who would try to stop people spreading their faith or evangelising. * You trust us to stand firm if others try to undermine the moral traditions, values and virtues that our nation was built upon. * Your trust us to keep taxes low while balancing the books by promoting a small government mentality in all areas of society. * You trust us to be realistic about our country and not dream up utopian policies that will never work in a month of Sundays. * Finally, you trust us to hold our opponents to account, to continually scrutinise their proposals and demonstrate why they are not fit for government. Ladies and gentlemen I need you to put your trust in me for one more thing. I can announce, here and now, that I will be standing for president at next year's election and hope you will be there to support me. Despite everything the Left, as well as foreign subversives, have thrown at us, the Centrist Alliance has stayed strong and is steering this country out of the global economic mire that was created by nationalisation. Keep the faith and stick with us in 4216. We will continue to make Baltusia better and better. Thank you. Alexandra Flanders Majority Speaker of the House |
| Date | 20:08:04, May 23, 2017 CET | From | Baltusian Democratic Green Party (BDGP) | To | Debating the BPBC1: Election 4216 Party Debate |
| Message | Fellow citizens, In December of 4216, you alone have the ability and the right to choose the direction of Baltusia's future. The choice is clear: will you choose the clear and stable government of the Centrist Alliance, or a programme doomed to fail lead by the Left Bloc. And this vital choice isn't confined to the Presidential Election - the Centrists need a strong majority in Congress if we are able to continue working for you and your family, and keep Baltusia progressing. So when you do go to that ballot box, I ask that you vote specifically for the Baltusian Democratic Green Party. With a strong mandate from you, the people of this country, my party will have the ability to ensure the nation remains on a moderate, centrist path - a path that has proven to be successful both in practice, and in theory. History also shows the party's willingness to compromise, meaning a strong BDGP will ensure policies in the interest of the nation are looked at and passed, not just in the interest of party politics. Time and time again, parties of the Left Bloc have claimed to represent 'choice' and 'freedom'. That's simply not true! Only a Centrist Government with a strong BDGP will grant you the rights you deserve. That is shown through our clear stance on abortion and a woman's right to choose, and strong environmental protections that don't hinder businesses. Unlike the left, we wish to give you moderation and compromise, and ensure you have the option of a variety of private enterprises, who are the backbone of this economy, combined with common-sense regulations which protect everyone. So if you want a greener, fairer world that your children and grandchildren can prosper in, vote BDGP on the 8th of December. BDGP Chairman Damien Herbert |
