| Message | Mdm. Speaker, While we support the Royalist Party's policy on the status of chemical weapons, the Social Union will not vote for Bill 12 if its stance on nuclear weaponry is not changed. Our belief is that nuclear weapons should never be used in war and only research into nuclear weaponry should be allowed. If we change Hutori's policy on the usage of nuclear weapons, then why will the international community have any reason to cease their production of nuclear weapons as well? In the pursuit of global nuclear disarmament, we oppose Article 1 and Article 2 of Bill 12. The allowing of the usage of nuclear weapons on any land harms all lands. Daniel Burns Leader of the Social Union MP for Carter City West |

| Message | Madam Speaker, Hutori must maintain nuclear weapons for defensive purposes. We would only use them in the case that Hutori is attacked first. Otherwise the nukes are not used. Jack F King Vice Chancellor of the Kingdom of Hutori Minister of Foreign Affairs MP for Port Prosperity North |
| Date | 19:56:17, January 10, 2018 CET | From | The Kings Party | To | Debating the Bill 12: Hutorian Strategic Weapons Defence Act |
| Message | Article 3 would absolutely negate all other factors in this law, which makes it counter productive. |
