Are you seriously suggesting that motions in the House of Commons should not be able to refer to the Prime Minister? |

Which means that we're not going on a slander campaign but he is. So... I've been right all along? |

Ha! You? Not slandering? "Since losing the post of speaker, Commoncold0 has done little more than berate the Boo Party government." Complete rubbish. Repeatedly throughout the last parliament I criticised the opposition parties, even going as far as to pledge that I would vote for you in the second round of the general election, which I did. I also only opposed government bills which I considered to be harmful, going as far as to ammend your government's education bill. I did not oppose the government on every occasion, as I supported many of your bills including the Open Legacy Bill. I am continuing this policy this term, as I will be supporting your taxation motion. Your allegations are nothing but slander and do not reflect the truth in any way, shape or form. I demand that you withdraw your allegations and apologise! |

1. Mischief Motion. 2. Northern Isles Condemnation Motion 3. Ideology Motion 4. Outrage Motion All statement motions authored by Commoncold0 critisising the Boo Party. The first two were withdrawn, furthering their un-necessity. |

1. I did not believe the house had confidence in your government - in such sitiations it is vital that the issue be resolved as quickly as possible in order for the business of government to move on. You will notice that I withdrew the motion as soon as it became irrelevant. 2. I was raising a genuine issue and it just shows how desperate you are that you are trying to present this as nothing more than an attempt to destabilise the government. When I made the motion the government was failing to inform the House of Commons as to what exactly was going on. By making the motion I prompted the government to take the much needed action it eventually did. I therefore believe it was in the national interest to make the motion, and I stand by it. 3. Again, a genuine concern. The major complaint about mordern politics is that parties are all style and no substance. Given your attitude to your ideology of nationalising things, that you would rather sit around complaining than to take action to make nationalisation of industry possible, I believe I was entirely justified in making that motion. 4. Sorry, but you cannot just pretend that I've made this crisis up. People are angry, and you know it. I believe I am entirely justified in making this motion. I notice also how you have completely failed to respond to my criticisms of your assessment of my behaviour. Prime Minister, I do not wish to have to ask you again. I demand that you withdraw your allegations and apologise. |

Because of your party's behaviour during the general election. |

Asking people to vote. Shocking and appauling, nay obscene behaviour I know... |

In the method by which you gained last minute support, it's unclear as to whether or not you broke the electoral rules. What is clear is that you broke the spirit of the rules. I'd also like to point out that I have completely shredded your argument, shown by the fact that you have now focused on just one of the many points I have raised. I demand a withdrawal and an apology. |

One thing at a time. Too many things at once and you're more liable to make a mistake. You mean that getting new voters is a bad thing? I'm sorry? What? Surely an election should be as representative of the public's views as possible. Are you claiming it shouldn't be? That's what it looks like to me. |

Fine, enough tip-toeing around. Mr Speaker, I hereby accuse the Boo Party of rigging the election. *end of in character conversation methinks* AE, ever since the disasterous election last year which saw the Hyrule Scrolls Party come to power it has been agreed by all the parties that they wouldn't chase inactive votes. I accept that these rules have not always been strictly followed - but this is the first time for a very long time that one party bringing in inactives has changed the result. You've shattered a year of progress and set Mock Parliament back into the dark ages when people would pressure their friends and siblings into registering for the sole purpose of getting them to vote for them in general elections. |

I will admit, I had no part in the extra voters. Nor would I have been supportive of Dark Lugia contacting. DMHowe I think even you can agree was fair enough. He'd been brought in before, and he's semi-active anyway. However, it's besides the point. We did not tell them who to vote for. They chose. If we had not brought in Dark Lugia, it would have been a tie, complicating things further. If he had voted FVP would we be having this argument I wonder? |
