| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is capitalism in it's purest form. Exploitation of the poor by wanting to abuse their weaker position. We are for limiting foreign aid, but to only supply them with aid when they give trade rights is inhumane. Emma Steffen LLP MP on Foreign Affairs |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Aid is a matter of give and take. In this situation everyone would be better of. Our policy is responsible management of the taxpayer's money. We would like to know the stance of other parties in this regard. Halbe Blok Minister of Foreign Affairs |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Support, if we're going to give aid to shithole countries in Majatra or Dovani we should at least ensure we benefit from it. Francis Young Republican leader |
| Date | 12:52:03, July 22, 2018 CET | From | Secular Humanist Party | To | Debating the Trade is aid act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We disagree with the statement that aid is about give and take. True aid, true compassion does not require any returns. However, we do believe that trade is not a detriment to the countries in need of aid but another benefactor and will therefore vote in favour of this bill. Alexander Prince, MP SHP Party Leader |
| Date | 20:06:21, July 22, 2018 CET | From | Lodamun Labour Party | To | Debating the Trade is aid act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The LLP condemns the language used by the Republican leader. In this presidium we should treat all the other nations of Terra with respect. Calling them 'shitholes' is far from respectful. Emma Steffen LLP MP on Foreign Affairs |
| Date | 20:07:44, July 22, 2018 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Trade is aid act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, Meh. Francis Young Republican leader |
| Date | 21:16:05, July 22, 2018 CET | From | Conservative Democratic Union Lodamun | To | Debating the Trade is aid act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The policy of the foreign ministry in regard to Majatra and Dovani is that we believe in the strenght of the people of these countries and the potential their society has (although these countries do require to make several policy changes). We look forward in working together with these nations, negotiating in respect a possible deal that would benefit both countries and us alike, and international trade in general.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We admire the Republican Party for their inconsistencies. They publicly advocated this proposal but voted against it when it came to a vote. This is dishonest to the great people of Lodamun. Alexander Prince SHP Party Leader |
| Date | 22:25:55, July 23, 2018 CET | From | Conservative Democratic Union Lodamun | To | Debating the Trade is aid act |
| Message | Mr speaker The republicans debate in favor of the policy but vote against it. We suggest the party leader of RP that it might be time to retire. Luca Brankic Party leader CDUL |
| Date | 11:28:04, July 24, 2018 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Trade is aid act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, That was a relatively pointless statement from the leader of the CDUL, bearing in mind they have recently flip flopped on other legislation. A case of pot calling the kettle black? Regina Miller Leader of the Republican Party |
