| Message | The SSDP does not feel that Solentia's current export-weak economy can support an influx of immigrants. We cannot support Article 2 in that it presents a threat to the employment of native Solentians. Finn Jacob, SSDP Chairman. |

| Message | This will be supported by the CPS. Mr. Jacob, if you can bring to light the facts supporting our 'export-weak' economy, please do. Kevin Sunderland, Inner-Party Leader |
