Message | Mr. Speaker We ask all parties to offer their opinion of this matter, though we will note we will be pushing this for a vote the moment we have confirmed that are no longer Party to the Alliance of Terran Republics Treaty. Vernon Wilson Leader of the Royalist Party of Hutori |

Message | Mr. Speaker I would like to ask what this change will be good for? Personally I am not against, but neither for. Some people will not want to recognize this system and that is why you have correctly stated "Nobility confers titles and minor political rights, but no direct control over people or land, and can be hereditary". Our party have nothing against this "restoration" and with pleasure we'll support it, if its usefulness is demonstrated. Viggo Hagerstrom Leader of National Conservative Party |

Message | Mr. Speaker This has been a long goal of the Hutorian Monarchist Cause for decades and now centuries. Monarchies provide the stability of a long term leader that can serve as a moral leader during times of crisis. Even as political leaders and parties change the Monarchy does remain. We also understand that not many would want a new class, which is why the Royal Family will have ceremonial powers only, well real power will be centralized within elected officials. Vernon Wilson Leader of the Royalist Party of Hutori |
Date | 04:53:01, November 06, 2017 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the Bill 1: Monarchist Restoration Act |
Message | Mr. Speaker We are ready to support Monarchy restoration as long as Monarch's power will be purely symbolic. |

Message | Mr. Speaker This is in fact a Constitional Monarchy. All executive power is held within the office of the Chancellor who is appointed via a vote in the Senate. There is no wool being pulled over the eyes of our colleagues in the Social Liberal Party. Vernon Wilson Leader of the Royalist Party of Hutori |

Message | Mr. Speaker, This party was founded a decade ago, back when the Senate was dominated by radicals and inefficient parties which promised a return of the monarchy to Hutori and time and time again could not deliver. For 360 years a vocal minority had forced republicanism upon the Hutorian people, and we promised to heed the call of the silent majority and offer a centrist alternative to the divisive republican system. In the first election we contested, we won over 100 seats. We formed a coalition government with the Royalists and Liberal Democrats, bringing efficient government back to Hutori after almost 80 years of divisive republicanism and radicalism. In the second election we contested, we beat the Ataraxians in the popular vote and rose to second place, continuing the coalition government with the Royalists and Liberal Democrats. The President won re-election in a landslide, and the coalition collectively won over 65% of the vote. In the last general election we became the largest party in the Senate. In less than ten years an outsider party had taken the premiership. The Hutorian people stood up to divisive party politics and backed progressive, centrist reform. Pro-restoration parties together won over 80% of the vote. The Hutorian people have overwhelmingly supported the restoration of the monarchy. It is now time we listen to them at last and be their servant, not their master. Joseph Green Prime Minister of Hutori |

Message | Mr. Speaker, This country has been fine without a monarchy of any sort for quite a while. We see no visible and evident reason to suddenly implement one especially when it is a symbolic position. |
