| Message | Mr Speaker, The Holy Luthori Church has been our official church for thousands of years, 2136 to be more precise, and its establishment by the Holy Luthori Church Act, it is high time that the left accepted that this church is an integral part of our society and of our life. This law would aim, again to make the state of Luthori, atheist, without saying it, which is why the vote of the Imperial Conservative Union is a big NAY. Edward Robinson MP for the Great Winsworth Constituency Member of the Imperial Conservative Union. |
