| Message | Mr Speaker, Ignoringthe fact that this is an omnibus bill, which we never support on principle, this bill is just generally bad for Hutori. Forcing everyone into DWCs and having the government run the stock market is bad for the economy. Not allowing the police to patrol public property is bad for the safety of Hutorians. Nationalising telephone lines is just another burden on the taxpayer, they will end up paying more for their phone service through increased taxes. Overall, this bill is a garbage piece of legislation. I hope the Sutton Nationalists and the Labour Party still have a shread of common sense and will reject this terrible bill. Steve Taylor MP for Glentingham East Leader of the Hutori First Party |

| Message | Mr, Speaker, We concur with the Hutori First Party and will reject this bill firmly when it comes to vote. Zack Bernier MP for Port Prosperity Docks Leader of the People's Party of Hutori |
| Date | 22:21:53, November 16, 2018 CET | From | Sutton Nationalist Party | Labour Party | To | Debating the USPH caucus Bill 2 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We would normally support our governing partners, however, they broke ranks with the Labour-SNP Coalition without talking with us first and helped to undo decades of free trade policies on which most parties used to agree. We therefore cannot support this bill - even though there are many provisions we would normally support. Votes have consequences. This is the consequence for not supporting the Labour-SNP coalition. We hope our coalition partners will continue to be just that - partners, and maintain their support within the coalition going forward. Andrew Macalester MP and MC for Sutton Prime Minister of Hutori |

| Message | Mr. Speaker I understand and recognize the Prime Minister’s complaints, we will make sure to check with our coilition partners from now on Altarius Smith, MP for the USPH |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
