| Message | Article 1: Withdrawal is both unecessary with regards to your proposed changes, and a step backwards. We oppose articles 2, 3 and 4 outright, but can see the logic of article 5. |

| Date | 13:44:13, February 18, 2006 CET | From | Inrala no Ikolowagitou (Green) | To | Debating the Indrala Unity Act |
| Message | The Essential values that the ILP claims to want to preserve have largely arisen from our open and hospitable nature. The policy of welcoming strangers into our family has been one of Indrala's great strengths over the centuries. Why should we now turn our back on the world when we have profited so greatly from open association? |
| Date | 13:31:25, February 27, 2006 CET | From | Liberal Party of Indrala | To | Debating the Indrala Unity Act |
| Message | That is Poltically Correct nonsense. OOC: The melting pot policies of the USA, Aus and Europe are bringing them to their knees. In a democratic society the people have the right to preserve their culture and majority by restricting imigration. We will try some of these once more in the future. |
