| Message | Mr Speaker, My party would back this completely as we believe that we can secure a better deal for the Rutanian people. We believe we should remain freinds with the other countries in Ritania and negotiate trade deals ect. But we do we do not believe that the Artanian Unions is benefiting us anymore. We believe we will be better if deciding our own laws and forging our own way forward. I believe that certain new treatise should be put forward by the new government whoever it may be, these treaties would secure our friendship and only our friendship with the Artanian Union and we believe that if we do this our people will be able to flourish and grow even more.

| Message | Mr Foreign Secretary, I very much look forward to the day when Artanianis once again a free democratic nation and we don't have our laws dictated to us by officials from other nations. I very much hope that we can pass this bill through the house. If it fails though I pledge to work with your party and any other parties who back this to try again and again and ensure that we get our freedom and independence back.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is a bill on disinformation. Withdrawing from these treaties will make our economy weak and vulnerable, we would have to negotiate new treaties fast or would lose huge amounts of money. Not only that our government's budget is hit by that, since we can't raise enough taxes if our citizens don't make enough money, but most importantly individuals will be hit by this. Sure we will recover a few jobs, but those jobs will be low-paid and probably too shitty for domestic workers to even apply for them. Trade deals not only grow our economy but also raise wages, instead of government trying to raise wages in a fabricated way, we can let the free market raise our wages by free trade. Sure jobs will be lost, but if you reduce taxes in this country and make it likeable to companies the jobs will come here instead of somewhere else. Also it shows that free trade reduces costs of certain goods, that with the raising wages would increase our economy enormously. To think that this is a smart idea is not only stupid but it's trying to ruin our economy on purpose. Rep. Capt. Alard Crowley, Deputy Leader LP |
