| Message | Mr Speaker In order to address the budgetary concerns Hutori is facing, I believe the best way forward is to privatise the expensive and uncompetitive power industry. By allowing the private and public sectors to co-exist we can have a more efficient and cheaper system for both the government, who will not be obligated to pay significant costs for power, and for the consumer who will have cheaper electricity bills. Furthermore, we believe that each region needs to start paying a fair share in regard to maintaining the grid. The National Reform Party believes that it is time the regions should be responsible for the ownership and maintenance of these grids. The regional governments have a better understanding of the requirements /needs of the citizens within their own region than the federal counterparts and therefore would be able to make better decision regarding the allocation of resources in their own respective power grids. I ask other parties to support this bill, in order to kickstart a strong Hutori economy. Barbara Cannon MP for Central Woodhurst Finance Spokesperson for the National Reform Party |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Reform Party's views align so much with those of the Dark Ages that perhaps they think Hutori should go dark. The New Liberals cannot support regional power grids. To do so leads to the possibility where regions with the least amount of funding could be without power. Given what we all know about structural racism (and the Reform party) those regions would magically be those with the most refugees and Mashacara under a Reform regime. We cannot allow for that possibility. Russell Selwyn MP for Sutton East Parliamentary Leader of the New Liberals |

| Message | Mr Speaker I demand the apology from the Member of Sutton East implying that we would intentionally leave people without power. This is about ensuring that all have power at a reasonable price. Stop colluding our policies regarding race with our economic policies. Barbara Cannon MP for Central Woodhurst Finance Spokesperson for the National Reform Party |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I will not apologize to the MP for Central Woodhurst, not now, not ever. The Reform Party has made its bed with its racist rhetoric. Now it must sleep in it. Russell Selwyn MP for Sutton East Parliamentary Leader of the New Liberals |
| Date | 06:28:56, May 10, 2018 CET | From | Liberal Party of Hutori | To | Debating the Reform Party Bill 29 - Privatisation of Power |
| Message | Mr Speaker Let me make this clear, we would not leave any region without power as it would not be in the economic interest of Hutori to have underdeveloped regions. As for our rhetoric, I do not believe the Reform Party is racist and we are talking about illegal individuals attempting to enter the country who do not have our interests at heart and a group of subhuman savages. Under a Reform Government, these "groups" would be shipped away to a third world nation, or the issue "resolved" otherwise, therefore rendering your argument of us not funding regions with these groups incorrect. Barbara Cannon MP for Central Woodhurst Finance Spokesperson for the National Reform Party |
