| Message | Mr Speaker, These policies are disgusting and facistic. This Government believes they know how to parent better than parents, believes that they can spy on Luthori citizens without a warrant, and believes that the fundemental right to trial by jury is overrated. To add into this the Government supports torture and won't even allow judgements to be appealed. This is disgusting. The Luthori people will resist, make no mistake.

| Message | Mr Speaker, If the TUSC leader has not realized, even a small government party of the White Rose has been irked by socialist mismanagement and political ineptitude of the CR and LDU to the point where Fascists are REQUIRED to restore order. You have attacked the fabric of this nation, which is religious and conservative in nature, with social degeneracy as legislation, with materialism and class warfare as your national mission, and a disgustingly weak foreign policy allowing Hutori to fall into a republican state to only be rescued through a stroke of luck. - The entire Northern Council is considering whether we are worthy of being a member at this point. This is EXACTLY what the people voted for. We are taking steps to restore international confidence that was lost when you mindless ideologues decided to hermit us from the international sphere. We are NOT going to stand being some crackpot banana republic at the expense of what you call "democracy"! -Sir Jacob Wilbur, HFU Chairman |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The White Rose have always been first class hypocrites that'll do anything for a ministerial car. So arguing that their overnight conversion to facism is a sign of how ‘neccesary' your policies are is stupid. Class warfare has always been what our party is about. We have achieved 100 seats in the last two elections because of the popularity of our party amongst the working class. We have attacked the history of this nation because it's history is full of religious nutjobs like yourselves. We stand for a secular, free and prosperous future for ALL our people. We will never be ashamed of that. Our foreign policy was based on principles of Democracy and sound judgement. Rather than rushing to whatever reactionary step immediately, we actually took the steps required to ensure peace. We stand our record in Government, and condemn this cruel attack on Democracy.

| Message | Mr Speaker, This is by the dumbest argument made in the Diet. You did not HAVE a foreign policy. You ignored the Northern Council, never making more than a peep, you talk about winning 100 seats when the HFU with little effort has held 90-110 seats for most of its electoral history. Do the socialists need to be reminded that Labour seats went to the fascists this election? You are calling other socialists with actual god damn loyalty to this nation "religious nutjobs" because they lost faith in some communist pipe dream coalition who didn't have energy to commit to the hearings it so desperately wanted. You gained 2 seats this election from the Labour fallout and now suddenly you think you are here to stay? We won with 32% of the vote this election, you never had that in your lifetime. We won because you exist, because this entire nation sees you are nationless scum who wish to make our Empire. The HFU alone has the membership of BOTH your parties combined, and you talk about the popularity among the working class? Despite the near halving of your coalition partner? We are a coalition of the people, you are nothing mentally ill quacks who stand for nothing but the looting of civilization! -Sir Jacob Wilbur, HFU Chairman *HFU members of the diet begin chanting, clapping, and cheering* |

| Message | Mr Speaker, It has become clear as the fog lifts that the opposition in this great country has come to an end. The White rose, once a proud party of tradition and honour... Has folded to fascist tyrrany and given up all sense of pride. It is Becuase of them that this bill pass. Together with the ALA they have folded. Become puppet parties, nothing more than a mouth piece for fascists leaders. The respect I and many others had for these parties are blown out the window. Meanwhile the Socialists stand as one of the last defenders of freedom. And for the we thank them. This treachery will not be forgotten. The betrayal of democracy, showing that the voters does not count in their eyes. Therefore after talks with another goverment. I will, if they do not change their votes. Form a opposition in exile. To the Fascists, and I am including the cowards, cowards! In the White rose in that. Meanwhile the party will be lead my vice chairman until I come back. Which I hope to do when the democratic parties of this nation regain a majority, and the cowards are thrown out. Viscount Wilma Urquhart II Leader of the Conservative Right |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The Urquharts have starved thousands in our empire for their profit motive. They are permanently banned from returning to Luthori, even the socialists understand that. It is time for the Conservative Right to collapse, as they are simply obstructionists and a duplicative party of the White Rose. They only thing the CR officer is tto the table than WR. -Sir Jacob Wilbur, HFU Chairman. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Our Party has long made it clear that we believe in a non-interventionist foreign policy independent of supranational organisations. We did so in the first TUSC led Government under Ben Sullivan, the second led by Ben Sullivan and the most recent West Government. The Conservative Right are a Party of the elite for the elite, who in my view have condemned the workers to poverty with their policies. That doesn't mean you should be attacking them, exiling them or anything of the kind. They are Democratically elected representatives just as much as you are. The sooner this Government is put out to grass the better. William Morris - Leader of the Opposition |
