| Message | How rediculous. This isn't racist. This is a blooming good idea. Article 1 ensuers that we don't have loads of foreigners taking Alorian jobs. Article 2 stops nations putting taiffs on our goods. Article 3 ensures that OUR TAXPAYERS money isn't being wasted on foreigners who don't need it. Article 4 stops terrorists getting into this country. Anyone voting against this bill is in favour of high unemployment, terrorism, wasting money and the continued destruction of the Alorian economy by hostile foreign nations. And that is disgusting. I urge the Social Reform Party to think before he opens his vociferous mouth. |

| Message | Taxpayers have no inherent rights other than those that they have as humans, as taxes are an obligation and not an option with benefits. Everyone has the right to live wherever they please. We only support the introduction of tariffs to protect Aloria's economy, but that is something that will have to suffer. |
