| Message | The parties Aloria have already made their positions on this issue loud and clear. Only the MLP voted against giving foreign aid to those in need when it was first introduced, and it certainly doesn't have the votes to reverse Aloria's position by itself. |
| Date | 07:05:37, May 16, 2007 CET | From | Party Royale | To | Debating the Foreign Aid Act of 2404 |
| Message | This bill is a step backwards, and Party Royale urges all parties in Aloria concerned with international equity to vote against it! |
| Date | 16:05:08, May 16, 2007 CET | From |  Moderate Libertarian Party (NoCoalition) | To | Debating the Foreign Aid Act of 2404 |
| Message | This bill is a compromise. That is, in emergencies we help. In non-emergencies we don't interfere. That means we won't receive negative blow-back later from countries with dictatorships and terrorists regimes we once subsidies but later become enemies with. We don't have to endorse them with our "humanitarian funds" in the present or future. |
