Description[?]:
| House, The LvS think's it is preposterous that we, a great nation, does not help others in need. The LvS understands that refugees and foreign aid is a tough subject to discuss, so we propose; -Small tied aid to poorer countries in return of trading rights, this gives us leverage for more later. -Refugees that are running from war. No aid given, just a place to stay. The LvS thinks it sensible and moderate. |

| Message | We feel that the interests of our people must be paramount. With regards to foreign aid we feel that private charities should be the source. We feel that it is unjust to tax our citizens to give money to other countries. |

| Message | With refugees we feel that there are many wars across Terra. We are most concerned about the social influence that these refugees could cause. The potential for crime, terrorism and the drain on resources is too much of a risk for our citizens. We believe that using our influence to 32nd conflicts, and insure safe zones for people to remain in their countries, combined with private aid, is the best solution. |

| Message | does that mean that, in regard of the proposition of the LvS, the NKP would vote no? The LvS thinks and knows that private charities don't bring in trading right. As for the refugees, we'd propose to put them on a piece of deserted land on Sint Pietereiland. It's the image that matters |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
