| Message | Mr. Speaker, Rather than protecting marriage Article 2 and Article 3 will actually reduce quite significantly the number of married people in this country. This is an attack on marriage, not the protection of it. The regressive, racist and homophobic attitudes of the Conservatives and their far-right lap dogs must be stopped in their tracks. Luthori is at high risk of succumbing to fascism is non-far-right parties do not work together to end this nonsense. Chester Greerson MID, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Luthori |
