| Message | Mr Speaker, The unfortunate reality is, Hutori's economy is not in a great state. We have growing debts and an increasingly growing social security obligations which the taxpayer must fund. The National Reform Party is proposing that we raise the retirement age by 5 years, to 67 years old, therefore increasing the time before individuals are able to access the state pension. With life expectancies growing, it is unrealistic for us to continue to pay for the growing ageing population. By raising it to 67, not only will this allow for these people to remain in the work force for a longer time, increasing tax revenue, but also decreases the expenses by the government. I implore all members of parliament to support this bill, for the sake of fixing Hutori's economy. MAKE HUTORI GREAT AGAIN! Greg Parks Member for Woodhurst West Leader of the National Reform Party |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The Conservative Caucus of the Royalist Party fully supports this bill. I hope my colleagues in the Progressive Caucus and all other parties in this house can come together and support this bill which will decrease the burden on taxpayers.

| Message | Mr Speaker if you wish to fix Hutori’s economy all you have to do is raise taxes, not give our seniors a death sentence |
| Date | 05:27:32, May 10, 2018 CET | From | New Liberal Party of Hutori | To | Debating the Reform Party Bill 23 - Raising Retirement Age |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I commend the new Conservative Royalist Leader on his maiden speech. It also pains me to say this, but I agree with the honourable MP for Wrightstown. The New Liberals will support this bill, though we expect it will not pass without additional support. Russell Selwyn MP for Sutton East Parliamentary Leader of the New Liberals |
| Date | 05:30:51, May 10, 2018 CET | From | Liberal Party of Hutori | To | Debating the Reform Party Bill 23 - Raising Retirement Age |
| Message | Mr Speaker, I ask the members of the Ultrackian Socialist Party how exactly this bill is a death sentence for our seniors? 62 is quite young, I highly doubt anyone of that age, without other pre-existing health conditions would find themselves "dying" as a result of this bill. Greg Parks MP for Woodhurst West Parliamentary Leader of the National Reform Party |
