| Message | Mr Speaker, The privitization of energy was a huge accomplishment for our party and the nation as a whole. We are dissapointed in the USPH for bringing this issue back to the floor of this house. Pascale Rousseau MP for Anslem Centre Leader of the Royalist Party |

| Date | 03:33:29, May 11, 2018 CET | From | Hutori Party | To | Debating the Energy nationalization bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, Right now we have a competitive energy market and it has helped bring down energy prices for Hutorians. By nationalizing it once again, we remove that competition and prices go up. If we listened to the USPH and nationalized absolutely everything as they seem to want to do, we would have the worst economy on Terra and nobody would do business with us. For some reason, the USPH believes socialism will repair our broken economy, yet it was socialism that destroyed it in the first place. I ask all members in this house, including the other parties on the government side to please vote against this bill and send a message to Hutori and all of Terra that we are done with socialism as it has proved to be a cancer to this country. Brett Martin MP for Wrightstown Opposition Justice Critic Chairman of the Royalist Party Conservative Caucus |
| Date | 08:21:15, May 11, 2018 CET | From | Liberal Party of Hutori | To | Debating the Energy nationalization bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, I am beginning to question the sanity of the USPH, this is the second socialist party within the past decade which has continuously worked against the interests of the citizens of Hutori and has made the cost of living skyrocket. I implore the other parties in the parliament to vote against this bill, and the USPH to seriously reconsider its stance. Kathlyn Montgomery MP for Arana Deputy Parliamentary Leader of the National Reform Party |

| Message | Mr Speaker, What would stop a future government from changing the laws and then charging a rediculously high price for energy simply because citizens have no other option. Brett Martin MP for Wrightstown Chairman of the Royalist Party Conservative Caucus |
| Date | 23:55:35, May 11, 2018 CET | From | Ultrackian Communist Party | To | Debating the Energy nationalization bill |
| Message | Mr speaker, if that happens we can stop it, there is a thing in this nation that we have called voting, I am not sure if you have heard of it |
| Date | 00:13:35, May 12, 2018 CET | From | Hutori Party | To | Debating the Energy nationalization bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, I would like to call a point of order. The member from the Ultrackian Socialist Party has been repeatedly warned by you, Mr Speaker, of the code of conduct in this house. He continues to refer to other members of this house directly. I also take that as a personal attack. Now, in response to the member's point, we could not stop a majority in this house from passing whatever they would like. We saw that happen in the 4320s under the majority government of the Ataraxian Confederation, when they passed a multitude of bills that handed everything off to the provinces and disbanded the Armed Forces and Federal Police Force. It has been proven that as long as they have a majority of the house, the government can pass absolutely anything they want. This means that a government very well could make Hutorians pay for energy again and charge incredibly high rates. We would prefer to keep it in the private sector where competition will keep prices as low as possible. Brett Martin MP for Wrightstown Chairman of the Royalist Party Conservative Caucus |
| Date | 04:02:18, May 12, 2018 CET | From | New Liberal Party of Hutori | To | Debating the Energy nationalization bill |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We have agreed to prop up the government on this bill, as part of a coalition deal with the NNPP and the USPH, and I am a man of my word. However, we have grave concerns. The private energy market allows prices to be kept low as utilities compete for services. While we firmly commit to never allowing price-gouging for energy as long as the New Liberals are in government, we share the concerns of my honourable friend from Wrightstown. While the votes of the people are always a good check on government, it could be some time before a new government denationalize energy to stop monopolistic pricing. We will vote for this bill now, but will work to change it through further legislation later. Tony Wolff MP for Glentingham West Minister for Infrastructure and Transport |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
