| Message | Mr. Speaker, I don't understand exactly what the GCU thinks their doing. Are you working for our people, or against our people? The Prime Minister seems to want to do anything and everything to make the general public's lives that little bit harder. Cutting funding to abortions won't change the rate of abortions, it just means our women will go to backstreet clinics in unsafe environments to get abortions or use methods which put their lives at risk. I also see that the Prime Minister wants the population to have children at age 14, and seems to be promoting unsafe sex in our communities. And to finish off of course, he wants to make sure that our population get punished because of unemployment rates that our out of their control. Oh, and let's not forget, he wants to make sure you stay unemployed and poor just that bit longer by upping the retirement age. This Act will be receiving a resounding no from my party.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, My party and our like minded colleagues are working for the people. My administration intends to deliver what the Commonwealth and the people of Rutania need, not just what they want. It sounds to me like the honorable Ms. Rivers and the UGAP seeks to deliver on the wants of the people, a tactic to secure votes from the least informed voters I'm sure. Why should the people of Rutania be provided with government paid for contraceptives? Do they all lack willpower so much that it's a necessity? Has the price of a simple latex condom risen so much that the public cant afford to just use protection? When someone becomes pregnant their are other options if they don't feel they should raise the child, a very compassionate option called adoption exists. What sort of society are we creating when free abortions are a right? While I believe in medical emergencies cost should never be a factor, they are in no way a right. Lastly does Ms. Rivers really believe it is a sound policy for this nation to maintain that anyone not earning income should be be supported indefinitely by the government. Believe it or not there are those who would and have taken advantage of this situation. The Grand Conservative Union will not support a nanny state that allows the lesser races to sit around and sleep around all day furthering miscegenation and all while they lazily are paid by the Commonwealth thanks to hard-working white Rutanians. -Prime Minister Royce Blood |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
