Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement: Motion

It seems to be the case that whenever people decide that they are going to take the self-righteous approach and put themselves on a moral pedestal, when one comes back with a counter argument, one sometimes gets booed. This is an institution of democracy and we are allowed to give our opinions. They are not exactly radical. I am not looking for us to turn our backs on certain sectors of society. I am putting forward a decent, heartfelt and thoughtful political position so if others want to heckle and reduce this to an argument between five-year-olds in the playground, so be it but it does those who heckle and this debate no service.
