| Message | The Movement for a Centrist Majority does not see the issue in the currently active legislation. The idea of having the "no majorirty share clause" was to act as a balance; Yes Foreign Investors are welcomed and the Solentian government realise their importance however we will not allow them to have control over the economy. We feel that this should not change. -Robert Almond- MCM senator from Shinatawa, MCM shadow Trade and Industry Minister. |
