| Message | We oppose withdrawal from these treaties. Free trade encourages cooperation between nations and provides markets for Jelbanian products and services. |
| Date | 05:04:45, December 13, 2007 CET | From | Démocrates de la Gauche | To | Debating the NBP Proposal 9 - Treaty Withdrawal |
| Message | We support. Free trade is not good for our industrial base and makes us more reliable on parts of the world for most of our goods and puts us at a disadvantage whenever in diplomacy or with parties freindly to these nations. |
| Date | 06:16:31, December 13, 2007 CET | From | Anarchistes pour une Société Libre | To | Debating the NBP Proposal 9 - Treaty Withdrawal |
| Message | Firstly, any international treaty that restricts our ability to legislate is anti-democratic, as it leaves no room for local governments to decide their own fate, and why even have local governments, if they must support whatever other nations want them to anyway? Secondly, free trade does not encourage cooperation between nations. It simply opens the door to foreign corporations taking away from the Jelbanian work force to create products that go overseas, as well as letting more capitalistic nations take advantage of our higher prices to sell their goods cheaper and make huge profits, which is taken away from the Jelbanian economy and deposited elsewhere. Globalization does great harm to a nation. |
