| Message | We agree here. |
| Date | 12:08:23, June 23, 2007 CET | From | Radical Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Foreign Investment Act |
| Message | No we are opposed to this as these will just end up sending money out of Lodamun and not be investing it back into our economy. |
| Date | 12:14:48, June 23, 2007 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Foreign Investment Act |
| Message | Why can't they get a majority share? |
| Date | 12:32:27, June 23, 2007 CET | From | Lodamun Distributionist Party | To | Debating the Foreign Investment Act |
| Message | For the reasons why the NP is worried about this proposal, for one. It's intended as a compromise. Also, the LDP is worried that foreign control of a Lodamese corporation may mean that the corporation could be moved from Lodamun altogether. |
| Date | 12:48:11, June 23, 2007 CET | From | Democrats | To | Debating the Foreign Investment Act |
| Message | Does national companies mean state owned? Or just private companies with their HQ in Lodamun? |
| Date | 12:51:38, June 23, 2007 CET | From | Lodamun Distributionist Party | To | Debating the Foreign Investment Act |
| Message | I have always taken it as "those companies that are originally of Lodamese nationality." |
| Date | 12:54:00, June 23, 2007 CET | From | Democrats | To | Debating the Foreign Investment Act |
| Message | Then we shall support, it is not really the governments business to prevent investment in private companies. |
