| Message | Mr Speaker, Firstly I have to say it feels good to stand where my family once stood, in this hall representing a party that will work against the leftist, extremist socialist policies. This grand country has experienced the socialist experiment for far too long. With taxes emptying everyone's pockets and a economy that has flatlined, its time. For a change in policy. We will work tirelessly to make that change and to protect the nation. The welfare state must come to an end and this is what we see to be the first step in the right direction. Viscount Wilma Urquhart II Leader of the Conservative Right |

| Message | Mr Speaker, This manifesto isn't Conservative, and no fair minded viewer of Diet precedings would see it that way. As the Father of the Diet I have served in this place 54 years, I have seen parties come and go, I have served as Chancellor, been a member of many different Governments. Over this time I have seen many Conservative branded parties and Conservative branded Politicians. Of these people I don't believe one of them were decieving the public by branding themselves in quite such a serious way as the Viscount. I served with many great Conservative members in this diet, I was a great friend of Amanda Hall, the former Leader of the Conservative Party of Luthori. She wouldn't want to ever be associated with such a facistic policy as forcing people to undertake military service and indeed prosecuting them for not doing so. My own son fought in the military, and that makes him a hero of our nation. But he wouldn't dream of forcing others to do so, he sees this as being just as facistic as I do. Sacrifice can't be done compulsorily, it must be done with free will. I will leave the other articles to be argued against by my own frontbench, and I'm sure that they'll do a fine job. But article 1 is offensive to everyone that has some regard for human free will and decency. Shame on these nutcases. **Cheers from TUSC Members** Shame on you. Ben Sullivan - Father of the Diet |

| Message | The right honourable gentleman embarrasses himself by making such claims. I am not fascist, and the more you throw that word around the less it means. I am simply a no nonsense right winger that happen to hold different viewpoints than yourself. And the wonderful thing about a democracy is that its allowed. Therefore the right honourable gentleman should calm himself and respect the democratic representatives of this diet. Viscount Wilma Urquhart II |
| Date | 00:05:24, September 15, 2018 CET | From | Authoritarian Luthori Alliance | To | Debating the Conservative future |
| Message | Mr Speaker, While our party agrees with articles 1, 4, 5, 6 and 9, we must abstain from voting due to the other articles. We have always sought to put Luthorians first and while we agree with free enterprise in many sectors of business, we believe that essential services should be provided to all Luthorians by the government. Thomas Barton ALA Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I have fought against people on the Liberal Left devaluing the word facism all my life. As a Party we have always been socially Conservative on many issues, immigration in particular, but the state forcing it's young men to go and die in a foreign country that they've likely never heard of, and locking up anybody that wishes to exercise free will is authoritarian at best, but is just the first step in the road that this country has seen before, when we were forced to go into Government with the LCR, despite us agreeing on almost nothing, in order to save Luthori from Facistic and theocratic Government. We understand very poignantly what facism starts as. It starts with article 1 of this bill Ben Sullivan - TUSC Backbencher |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The right honourable gentleman clearly does not think before he speaks. Using such words does not only show how little he knows about history and ideology. But also what the Socialists truly are, reactionary, uneducated riff raff that can't debate on a higher level. I and my party happen to think that if this nation was to go to war, trained men and women would have a better chance of surviving but also winning us that war. In the future we suggest he and his party goes back both to school but also visit the nations that were gripped by the horrors if fascism. If he does he might have a better understanding of the word. Viscount Wilma Urquhart II Chancellor and Imperial-Seal bearer |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Th article proposed has nothing to do with training. It states that anyone who refuses to waste their life in the middle of nowhere in a country they've never heard of should be punished. Anyone that refuses to be a slave to the military Industrial complex shall be imprisoned by these people Aaron West - TUSC Leader |
| Date | 11:14:10, September 16, 2018 CET | From | Conservative Right | To | Debating the Conservative future |
| Message | Mr Speaker, Firstly I do not consider the men and women who are serving our country to be wasting their life. But that just shows the difference between our parties. Secondly its far from slavery, it is to protect ourselves and our allies from slavery. It's to make sure that the right honourable gentleman can continue to mumble nonsense in here. And lastly, it is typical for the left to anything that would put people to work and actually teach them some manners and morals. The military is a great tool to teach our youth that they have to get off their backside and help themselves. Chancellor and Imperial-Seal bearer Viscount Wilma Urquhart II |
