| Message | Mr. Speaker, The far-right really destroyed human rights in this nation and turned it into a theocratic. This is horrible. As a secular and democratic political movement, we want to reform all of this and give our citizens the freedom they deserve. Religion is not a reason to impose your will on others. Religion is personal. With our fists clenched, we are fighting for democracy! Jack Hugh, SP MP. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Holy Luthori Church goes a while back in our history, it's very important to a very high population, as seen by the voting records, religious parties tend to do really well. You want to destroy our roots and our religion. Maybe that is the reason you are not governing right now, you claim to be on the side of the people, yet you position yourself against them Jack Pierson, Imperator of The Holy Luthorian Empire |

| Message | Mr. Pierson, This has nothing to do with the Holy Luthori Church. We never banned religion and the freedom to practice one's faith. What you are doing is imposing dress codes, membership in a religion to people that do not want to live like that. We are not positioned against the people, we are standing by those who are oppressed by your extreme rules and legislations and simply want more freedom. This religion has existed for thousands of years, even when we were in government. That's the proof we don't want to "destroy our roots and our religion". Jack Hugh, SP MP. |
