| Message | Members of Congress, Why should the government encourage - and pay for - the immoral proliferation of non-marital sexual encounters in order to control population numbers. This is an abomination and completely disregards our Hosian teachings. I have a counter proposal - why don't we instead just sterilise anyone who supports the SSPB?

| Message | Mr Burleigh, I believe that the reason that the mass sterilization of 12% of the population is a bad idea is that it would be discriminatory, immoral and unenforceable. Otis Varnham (Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Services) |

| Message | It is unfortunate that it is unenforceable, Mr Varnham, because it would be effective on two fronts: Firstly, it would have a positive effect on over population; Secondly, within a generation or two we wouldn't have to listen to you lot prattling on. Charlie Burleigh Hosian Patriots |

| Message | Mr Burleigh, Hard as it may be for you to believe, not everybody holds the same belief as their parents. If you were the sterilize every member of our party, and everybody who votes for us then you would only increase our support (be it openly or not) because the more prohibited an idea is the more appealing it becomes. And if you deride us fulfilling our role as the party leading the opposition as mere "prattling on" then perhaps the system of a democracy is not right for you and a constitutional monarchy would be more to your liking.
