| Message | Mr Speaker, National Movements wants again to forbide some basic human rights in the Luthori. This bill won't pass and human rights will remain still. Natalie Davidson, Civic Alliance of Luthori (Democratic Party of Luthori), MP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Civic Alliance prefers being soft with the enemy, while the National Movement wants to be tough with those who want to destroy our nation. You like to talk so much about human rights, but what about Luthorian rights. Those people that have been forgotten for too long in order to feed the thousands of immigrants the CAL brings in every year. The CAL will pop like a bubble anyway. The National Movement has been in this Diet for almost 70 years, the CAL is a new left-wing phenomenon created in 4858. Mary of Hurrington, MP. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We are not actively searching for enemies like National Movement does. What they want is to turn all the Terra against Luthori. At the same time, we are trying to do completely the opposite thing, we want to live in peace and prosperity. The best example of CAL foreign politics is what we have signed with Istalia, a country which was not so friendly. But what we have accomplished is magnificent: We have created common trade market and multiple others things which can only benefit to the ordinary people. At the same time, Luthori is maintaining strong army and we will use it when needed, but using violence against other country is our last resort. Natalie Davidson, Civic Alliance of Luthori (Democratic Party of Luthori), MP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The only thing the CAL has brought in Luthori is millions of migrants, high taxes and an impoverished middle-class. Have you talked to those parents who have to pay for the full tuition of their children? Since the election, there have been no policies that improved the lives of our people. You even want to increase retirement age. That's completely antisocial and the NM will always be opposed to this! Mary of Hurrington, MP. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Regarding economic matter, the NM's economic proposal is unclear and vague. They are contradicting with the fact, if CAL is real left-wing alliance would we increase retirement age? On the other hand if we are right-wing alliance would we raise taxes to the richest and enforce them to pay tution fee for their beloved children? The conclusion is clear, CAL is centristic, liberal alliance and we are neither left nor right economically. And what is NM's economic position are you left because you are against raising retirement age, please explain this to your voters. I'm not going to comment NM's repeatative hate speech towards immigrants and their accusations regarding their large numbers simply because it's unnecessarily and fabricated by NM.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The left is for mass migration, internationalism, multiculturalism, interracial sex and the likes. That's what the left is. If you don't support that, then you're right wing, that's your vision. Also, you just keep lying. You know very well you enforced the tuition fee not on "the richest" but on the middle class. And a large part of the population is against raising the retirement age, which is an anti-social decision. They will vote you out in the next election. Mary of Hurrington, MP. |
