From Rutanian Heritage Party
ToDebating the Thalasocracy Bill I
MessageThe RHP cannot support this legislation, as we oppose the majority of its Articles. We fervently oppose Articles 4 and 6 in particular.
Article 4 proposes that Rutania's domestic industries and job markets be subjected to the ruthless forces of economic globalization with no security whatsoever, the inevitable results of which will be enormous job losses, business and factory closures, and the fundamental weakening of Rutania's national sovereignty and independence.
Article 6 proposes that Rutania should sell arms to other nations indiscriminantly, with no regard to their potential usage. Effectively, under this proposal, weapons may be freely sold to Rutania's enemies or potential enemies - that this defies all common sense and presents an extreme security risk should be self-evident, and any economic benefits that such a proposal may bring are therefore irrelevant.

ToDebating the Thalasocracy Bill I
MessageIn contrast to what you said, these articles will provide jobs globally, we need people importing/exporting the items and it will increase our relationships with other nations. Also, we are only selling conventional arms to anyone. By doing so, we are being trusted and we'll be rolling in wealth.

MessageThe PPR cannot agree to this bill for many reasons, not least child labour and enslavement. This is medieval and not something we can support.

MessageSlavery is taking advantage of resources! If they are returned to their nation, they will be attack again and if they are killed, we waist bullets! So we must put them to good use! Also, child labour is a vague term and therefore local governments should interperate what it means how they like. If having a mailroute is child labour than it will be illegal there, but if sweatshops aren't considered child labour... oh well!

MessageThis bill is perfect, you just have to get over your backwards idealist morals.

MessageWe thank the FMP for their response but will be voting against this bill due to the PPR stance on slavery and erroneously titled bills.

From Rutanian Restoration Party
ToDebating the Thalasocracy Bill I
MessageWe support many articles of the bill, and are fervently opposed to others, we could support some parts if this was broken down into smaller pieces of legislation.

Random fact: Parties have the ability to endorse another party's candidate for the Head of State election (if there is one). This adds a strategic element to the elections.
