| The LFP believes in aiding struggling countries so that they might find stability. However, we should not do this to any extent that we damage ourselves.

| Message | Its better than what we have at the moment, so i will support. I know that if i suggested even moderate free aid our current budget would be strained. I can't wait to see the economy. |

| Message | Perhaps but this would surely be pre-emptive legislation? |

| Message | Tied aid makes sense on many levels, however, it is susceptible to corruption. The good points outweigh the bad, hence our support for this kind of policy. And as long as we have a transparent government, there shouldn't be corruption problems. |

| Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
