| Date | 16:00:39, June 21, 2007 CET | From | Secular Party | To | Debating the Trade Act 11/16 |
| Message | We strongly support international aid, and we hope to dramatically increase the Holy Luthori Empire's activity in this area. However, the policy the Falls Party introduced is little better than extortion. We don't support any aid that is conditional. |
| Date | 16:13:45, June 21, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Trade Act 11/16 |
| Message | We're supporting it purely on the grounds that conditional aid is better than no aid at all. |
| Date | 17:02:12, June 21, 2007 CET | From | Imperial Vodka and Pimm's Party | To | Debating the Trade Act 11/16 |
| Message | Tied aid is a good terribly good idea. I would support no aid proposal that threw good Luthori tax payer's money after bad, but with tied aid they are getting something for it. |
| Date | 17:25:34, June 21, 2007 CET | From | Redneck Party | To | Debating the Trade Act 11/16 |
| Message | We need to stop wasting taxpayer money, as well as large spending cuts and tax cuts. |
| Date | 23:15:15, June 21, 2007 CET | From | Secular Party | To | Debating the Trade Act 11/16 |
| Message | To the LPP, what about the fact that it's a Christian duty to help those in need or that people will be helped by international aid? |
| Date | 14:27:35, June 22, 2007 CET | From | Teleurstelling Party | To | Debating the Trade Act 11/16 |
| Message | It may very well be a Christian Duty to do so and people will receive aid, but currently we offer NONE, at least with this proposal some aid is distributed and our income grows hence increasing the level of aid exported. |
