| Message | Mr. Speaker, Do you have any concrete suggestions to change the legislation or are you just proposing your fascist manifesto purposefully knowing that all those laws can't be applied in a so short amount of time, especially when they cover such large fields. I hope your party won't gain any seats and that you won't seek re-election. |
| Date | 14:48:25, February 11, 2020 CET | From | Royalists | To | Debating the Royalist Manifesto |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is our manifesto and these are our concrete suggestions. I expect that we Royalists will see a great success in the polling booth at the next election, and you should cast your hopes aside and expect so too! |
