| Message | Mr. Speaker, The only reason why we would vote to leave this treaty is to treat it like it is a purposeless treaty; judging how this treaty is signed by few countries, and how we still are apart of that few. This should have nothing to do with policy, and everything to do with efficiency. If the reason for us to withdraw from this treaty is relating to any form of inequality due to race, we shall not support it. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We do not ask our coalition partners to support any policy they do not believe in, nor would we ever. We simply ask that we withdraw from the Treaty to restore the sovereign power of the Commonwealth |
| Date | 02:10:24, September 21, 2017 CET | From | New People's Party of Rutania | To | Debating the Blood-Culture and Heritage Decree |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The NPPR finds it troubling that the GWP believes that our heritage and culture involves slavery, segregation and banning interracial marraige. We also find it incredibly troubling that the RCGR finds a treaty that protects the rights of Rutanians "unneccesary" |
| Date | 03:08:12, September 21, 2017 CET | From | Civic Republican League of Rutania | To | Debating the Blood-Culture and Heritage Decree |
| Message | I am continually amused at the RCGR's ability to contort itself into supporting bigoted, regressive policies in the name of "centrism." --Fmr. President Magnus Holloway, CRL Leader |
| Date | 05:27:11, September 21, 2017 CET | From | Liberal Party | To | Debating the Blood-Culture and Heritage Decree |
| Message | Mr Speaker, I would just like to correct doubts, and reaffirm that we are completely against slavery and racial segregation. The only reason we would pull from this treaty is due to the fact that the treaty is just inefficient, and we should look forward to in the future signing one with more signatories than just us with a few other nations. |
| Date | 15:13:36, September 21, 2017 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Blood-Culture and Heritage Decree |
| Message | Mr Speaker, It is Discgraceful that the House is even debating this proposal,The Libertarian Party will oppose Rutania"s Withdrawal from This Treaty as This Treaty Ensures the Liberty of All Rutanians and therefore we request all parties to vote against this piece of legislation. Scott Anderson, Leader of the Libertarian Party |
| Date | 20:56:35, September 21, 2017 CET | From | United Democratic Party of Rutania | To | Debating the Blood-Culture and Heritage Decree |
| Message | Mr Speaker, As my collegues in this coalition have stated above, the UDP is against slavery and racial segregation and will vote against it appropriately. However, Rutania can have its right to vote on these issues instead of being in an international treaty where we and only 5 other nations follow these rules. Prime Minister Sima Sander |
| Date | 22:04:15, September 21, 2017 CET | From | New People's Party of Rutania | To | Debating the Blood-Culture and Heritage Decree |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The NPPR is ashamed to be in a nation where parties are willing to support removing ourselves from a treaty that bans slavery and segregation. The argument of "not very many others are doing it" is one that little children use. We are ashamed, and everyone in Rutania should be to. |
| Date | 01:09:50, September 22, 2017 CET | From | Whig Party | To | Debating the Blood-Culture and Heritage Decree |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, maybe our liberal friends need reminded that no one has proposed leaving the anti slavery treaty http://classic.particracy.net/viewtreaty.php?treatyid=3358, so the hysterics should end |
