| Message | We already have Free Trade agreements with other nations. These nations give us some products in exchange of us giving them some products. We won't let other nations' investors come in here and concurrence our own products when they impose tariffs on our products. So, we are willing to stay loyal to the current legislation and will vote against. |

| Message | We can see the benefit in this. However we would like to make an adjustment that should the House of Commons vote over 50% to ban this agreement with a certain nation, then it must be accepted. |

| Message | Free trade ensures that companies can outsource to poorer nations where they can dictate low wages. The effect of this is double: 1. The exploitation of third world labour 2. A loss of jobs in Dorvik and a decline in the manafacturing base. |
