| Message | Mr. Speaker While we are supportative of Labour these are reforms that simply go too far and could cause more harm then good to Hutori. For these reasons alone we are voting against. Kayla Wright Interim Leader of the Royalist Party of Hutori MP for Bekenial Riverside |

| Message | Mr. Speaker Even if we agree with the overall idea of this bill, article 5 and article 6 seems a bit too extreme for us. Moreover, This bill seems incredibly vague, we cannot support it. -Evie Andrews MP for the New National Progress Party |
