| Message | Mr. Speaker, The following bill is anti democratic and reactionary, and serves no purpose other than to minimise power into fewer hands. The increase in the number of proposals in Article 1 increases the power of larger parties to force through their own policies due to the Right Wing Coalition, allowing them to enact sweaping changes before the next election without an effective Left Wing Opposition. The change to the executive in Article 2 separates the head of state, the chief representative of the country, from the public, effectively lowering the people's ability to influence foreign and domestic affairs. Article 4 and 5 provide a state sponsored class system with a herditary nobility with extensive rights and powers which can only be elected by another hereditary an undemocratic position. The Federation cannot support such a proposal and any party which beliefs in democratic values and the ability for the people to have some say in their lives should follow suit.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We fully support this bill, which embraces Luthori's rich history. It also makes sure a politically independent King is the HoS, which will never make offending comments or try to offend anyone in its realms. John Malcolm, Leader Royalist Party |

| Message | Mr Speaker, In 4209, the Emperor was replaced as Head of State by a President, that act has caused nothing but grief, abuse and problems. The Emperor was reduced to a cultural figurehead, more for tourism than command of the Empire. If we restore the Emperor to Head of State, we will once more have someone who cares deeply for all Luthorians in their duty, not someone who is politically motivated, open to corruption and releases the kind of statements we have seen recently. The democratic will of the people will be recognised in elections to the Imperial Diet, with the Parties forming coalitions where the Leader who can command a majority, will become Imperial Chancellor. House Adlerberg formed the Luthori Empire and it is time we return to that, no Republicanism will be ignored because there will free and fair elections every 5 years, their will simply be no President. The nobility will be restored to their place of managing the Duchies alongside directly elected Mayors of our cities as per the constitution, we are not changing that. The Noble Councils of Dukes/Duchesses, Marquis/Marquess and Barons will once more play a role in managing our Empire. Colleagues, this Act simply restores the Empire after 24 years as the Luthori Republic has proven to be a failed experiment and we need the Emperor back. Marquis Dale Weston Leader of the RCP |
| Date | 15:05:12, June 08, 2017 CET | From | Patriots Party | To | Debating the Imperial Restoration Act 4223 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, We will oppose this bill. The Republic is in its infancy and has had many great success and resounding turnouts for Presidential elections. This is the free and fair open society we wish to see. We also now take note of how the RCP now agrees with the 5 year Election gap, having, been so against it when it went against them. They are political chancers, and we will not take any more chances with these people who have pulled the wool over people's eyes, by deceiving them and now agreeing with measures they disagreed with before. A return to Imperial rule will be a stab in the back of democracy and the freedoms our people now enjoy. Peter Wright MP |
| Date | 13:37:53, June 09, 2017 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Imperial Restoration Act 4223 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, My party cannot support this bill whilst article 3 is in place. We would only support this bill if all special rights for the nobility were abolished and titles were made purely symbolic. Stewart Pond, Leader of the Libertarian Party |
| Date | 16:31:04, June 10, 2017 CET | From | White Rose | To | Debating the Imperial Restoration Act 4223 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, We have removed Article 3 for our Libertarian friends. James Stinson Deputy Leader of the RCP Foreign Secretary |
| Date | 14:00:02, June 14, 2017 CET | From | Patriots Party | To | Debating the Imperial Restoration Act 4223 |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
