| Date | 02:32:45, October 22, 2012 CET | From |  Party of United Citizens | To | Debating the Treaty Withdrawl Act |
| Message | These treaties restrict the law of placing protectional tariffs, which the PoUC would like to set in place to encourage buying homemade products and grow the economy. |
| Date | 02:38:21, October 22, 2012 CET | From | Gilde Mercantile Solentia | To | Debating the Treaty Withdrawl Act |
| Message | The PoP supports the withdrawal. Solentia should stand on its own and need not the help of others. |
| Date | 12:46:51, October 22, 2012 CET | From | Grand Liberal Party | To | Debating the Treaty Withdrawl Act |
| Message | These measures will damage Solentian business. These agreements promote fere trade and no tariffs between member nations on both sides- why put Solentian companies at a disadvantage? |
| Date | 21:23:52, October 22, 2012 CET | From | Party of United Citizens | To | Debating the Treaty Withdrawl Act |
| Message | That's not true at all. Protectionist tariffs make Solentian-made goods more appealing to buy due to their lower price, thus stimulating economic growth. |
| Date | 23:14:27, October 22, 2012 CET | From | Grand Liberal Party | To | Debating the Treaty Withdrawl Act |
| Message | Your argument is only valid for the domestic economy- in order to grow economically we need to grow our exports and these policies will make us uncompetitive internationally. |
| Date | 01:28:45, October 23, 2012 CET | From | Party of United Citizens | To | Debating the Treaty Withdrawl Act |
| Message | We can still have agreements to withhold tariffs for certain allies of ours, but we want to make the Solentian goods more appealing than foreign goods. |
| Date | 02:22:14, October 23, 2012 CET | From | Gilde Mercantile Solentia | To | Debating the Treaty Withdrawl Act |
| Message | The nationalist and patriots of Solentia shall rejoice at this bill |
| Date | 11:32:38, October 23, 2012 CET | From | Grand Liberal Party | To | Debating the Treaty Withdrawl Act |
| Message | The TRUE patriots of Solentia embrace our Terran neighbours in a spirit of openness and understanding- not small minded protectionism |
| Date | 15:22:04, October 23, 2012 CET | From | Gilde Mercantile Solentia | To | Debating the Treaty Withdrawl Act |
| Message | We do embrace them but we should at least be a little selfish for our country. |
| Date | 07:39:25, October 24, 2012 CET | From | Federal Independent Party | To | Debating the Treaty Withdrawl Act |
| Message | We applaud the PUC and PoP for aiding and abetting the promulgation of Solentian sovereignty, a concept and custom that had become foreign during years of Liberal unitarianism. FIP Senate Minority Leader Don Davine |
