Message"I'm pretty sure a foreigner who wants to take us over will research and know a lot about our country. A test won't stop them."

~Donny Kennedy, Secondary Chairman of the LPS

Date19:01:44, March 20, 2015 CET
From Coalition for National Unity [CNU]
ToDebating the Abolishment of the Citizenship Test
Message"But strong immigration laws will and a citizenship test is a part of that. The test also prevents workers flooding the market and Solentian labourers being put out of jobs but the fiscal illiteracy of the LPS has already been substantially documented so we don't imagine you care all too much about Solentian workers.

Let me predict- you are about to reply with a spiel about "the market" and "freedom" and "liberty" and a host of other buzzwords that sound lovely but mean nothing. You will argue that the market will magically solve the issues of the world but really what you mean is that you have no heart nor stomach to protect the livelihood of Solentian workers.

You have no ideas, you have no policies, you have no moral courage to do what it right. All you have is blind faith in the market and frankly, that is no longer good enough when our people are starving because foreign workers have taken their jobs. The LPS has run out of steam- it's WEAK, it's CLUELESS and it has NO actual policies to contribute."

Astryd Goldsea, Unionist Leader

ToDebating the Abolishment of the Citizenship Test
MessageCitizenship tests are certainly a good thing and a vital part of our immigration process. If anything we should make the citizenship tests more difficult. Those who wish to become citizens should be ready to prove that they deserve the right to be a citizen of Solentia.

-Chris "Kid" Coltson, Public Speaker of the Reform Option

Date20:54:56, March 20, 2015 CET
From Free Democratic Party
ToDebating the Abolishment of the Citizenship Test
Message"If you seriously believe in the citizenship test, then would you believe in forcing citizenship tests on our own citizens?"

~Ted Johnson, head Chairman of the LPS and Prime Minister

From Federal Green Party (FGP)
ToDebating the Abolishment of the Citizenship Test
MessageNo, there is a difference in having citizenship on people who are born here and people who move here.

Though I do think we should have better educational standards so our citizens would be more likely to pass the citizenship test if they hypothetically were to take it. It is pretty ridiculous that many don't know about basic history and principles of Solentia.

-Chris "Kid" Coltson, Public Speaker of the Reform Option
