| Message | A free trade agreement with any nation is beneficial to us. Particularly in the case of Keymon, we do not have any risk of having our shops flooded with items from Keymon, so ratifying this treaty has no downside to us. |

| Message | oppose this is a condensed version of NAFTA, and so has all the same problems specifically there is nothing that says a nation cannot subsidize its product and flood the market of the other country until it drives that local economy into ruin what we need is "fair trade", not free trade. I trust my fellow Green Party GLDS will agree |

| Message | You realise how small Keymon is, right? Their population is less than 1% of ours. They are not going to able to "drive our local economy into ruin". |
