| Message | What terrorism and international crime, Mr. Brocklehurst? Your words are nothing but fear-mongering. Telamon has faced far more danger from rioting and disorder within its own borders in the past 100 years than it has ever faced from threats abroad and international enemies. It is an open border, pro-international policy which will ensure our security in the world. Not isolationism and anti-outsider mentality. Daunte Woodson Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |
| Date | 01:40:58, September 09, 2008 CET | From | Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Tourism Promotion Act |
| Message | We have heard nothing but the overall distaste from the Telamon National Party in regards to the Radical Party and Democratic Capitalist Delegation for their supposed inadequacies in foreign relations. According to the TNP and the RRP, the longstanding Presidency of the Radical Party candidates disgraced Telamon's name in the world. In my opinion, the Radical Party and the Democratic Capitalist Delegation have always supported an internationalist stance, and during their tenure in the executive branch of this government they were responsible for many new international treaties and an overall message of acceptance and generosity. Since the Clark Presidency, we have taken an isolationist stance. The threat of a Migadon invasion from Likatonia is over. The supposed threat, was a small Likatonian conservative party, with slim to no power in the government, that simply asked for the state. The LSP and the political parties in power overreacted, and it is time to take a new stance globally. We need new legislation that promotes acceptance and internationalism in Telamon. Keir Hardie Chairman of the LSP |
