| Message | Thank you Mr. Speaker, These last months, following the national-communist revolution, small groups have formed and are trying to undermine our democratic system as well as the rule of the law. We have to make it clear to them that this is not acceptable. So-called "human rights" activists are protesting now every week, are threatening public officials and, also, are endlessly calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Peter Dalton. This is not going to happen. Those people are spreading fake news (we'll later pass a law against those kind of things, they don't need to worry) concerning the government and concerning the number of people attending their rallies and marches. They voluntarily inflate the numbers. 20 000 people were protesting? No, it was 2000. That is ridiculous. And when they are actually marching, they use very bad, very mean slogans against the democratically elected government. They are sometimes playing tough with the police forces. That's why they need better weapons to calm down those agitated protesters. We also don't count the number of times where the police can't search a house or a building without a mandate or other reasons. While those anti-communist, fascist and extremist guys are threatening the people, are terrorising them with meaningless slogans, we can't even search their houses! This needs to change and this law will address these issues. Louisa Klepps, CPL MP. |

| Message | Ms. Klepps, The only thing fake about the times we are living in is the statements you and your party consistantly make that call for the handling of protestors. And please, grow up. Our citizens have the upmost right to say whatever they want about their government, and they are exercising their right to do so. If you don’t like what they have to say, then either sit and do nothing or listen to them and work with them! Remember, these are the same people who elected you. Do not silence them and persecute them based on their disagreement with you. We never acted like this in the Imperial Diet when we agreed and we certainly cannot act like this now. I am ashamed of you and your party’s actions, and it is sickening to every single citizen and our country. There is no reason whatsoever to have the authority to invade someones home because they’ve “said mean or bad things” about your party and government. That is both childish and fascist in every sense of our language. Finally, if you want to criticize the protestors as “so called Human Rights activists”, then what is your party doing that is so beneficial to our citizens? Don’t bother answering that question because I’ll do that for you, just how you seem to want to do everything for our citizens without their approval. You are doing nothing for human right as a party and as a government, you consistantly trample on the lives of our citizens and ridicule them when they disagree with even the smallest thing that you do. Calling their message “fake news” leads me to believe that you don’t feel our people should have any rights whatsoever, because you are so blind and oblivious to the fact that these people want change. They are telling you the truth, Ms. Klepps. You just don’t want to believe that your government is a complete failure. If I could erase the history of our two parties working together, I would do so at a moments notice. Shame on you.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Mr. Andrews, Those Protesters do no represent the Luthorian people. They are only barking dogs with nothing constructive to propose. They are not the people who elected us, they are simply the useful idiots of the capitalists. We don't persecute anyone, we simply restore law and order. They are the ones persecuting us, they are the ones threatening, they are terrorists and they need to be controlled. Our cabinet has the support of the people, as demonstrated by the massive attendance at our demonstrations. Everyone should calm down and have constructive proposals instead of just shouting like these thugs. Louisa Klepps, CPL MP. |
