| Message | Mr. Speaker, Has the Movement of the Cross forgotten that Luthori has one of the best armies, navies and air forces in the world? As a result, we do not need biological and chemical weapons. Furthermore, for those who do support the possession of weapons that can wipe out millions and destroy the planet, Luthori already has nuclear weapons which are significantly more devastating than bio-chemical weapons so why are they necessary? For the humanitarians among us, the Communist Party would argue that it is simply inhumane and completely unnecessary to have weapons which, if used, would inflict deaths and suffering on an unimaginable scale. By abolishing our own WMDs we reduce the risk of other countries using them against our citizens. That is a much more logical and effective defence policy. If your argument is going to be that the possession of WMDs is essential for national defence we Communists would argue that is extremely disrespectful towards our brave women and men in the armed forces who risk their lives for their people. We would like this money to be reinvested to boost their safety and security. Chester Greerson MID, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Luthori |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Luthori, once the hegemon of southern Artania, has been eclipsed in status by our neighbours thanks to years of liberalism, socialism, and republicanism dominating our country against the cries of all true Luthorians. Luthori is, of course, a great country, despite the attempts of the left to change that, and our military should be not one of the best, but the best. Would the Communists rather, then, that Luthorians be the ones to undergo death and suffering on an unimaginable scale? All of our neighbours are willing to use their weapons for any reason whatsoever - they have stated they are willing to strike us first, and so we must be willing to strike back if we are to defend the Luthorian people. Edwin Armstrong Leader of the Movement of the Cross |
