| Message | We actually quite like these treaties. We are not willing to unite under one banner if it means having to suffer the presence of the regressive and small-minded imbeciles that incist on representing the so-called "Fascist Empire". |
| Date | 16:59:26, February 08, 2007 CET | From | Anti Egalitarian Alliance | To | Debating the Starting Afresh |
| Message | We want to ditch everything as these were for practical purposes effectively made by a different country and instead the new House can decide which treaties to ratify from a clean slate. This is a procedural and not political matter. |
| Date | 20:16:49, February 08, 2007 CET | From | Socialist Advancement League | To | Debating the Starting Afresh |
| Message | Why waste the time when the chances are they'll just be signed in a second time? Deal with it instance by instance rather than lumping them all together. |
| Date | 22:10:45, February 08, 2007 CET | From | Kirlawan Popular Front | To | Debating the Starting Afresh |
| Message | No. These were entered into when Kirlawa was a united country, and we should inherit them. |
