| Message | BAH! Todays modern world holds no place for the fearful protectionists. Let our industry and private sector stand on its own two feet, and become competitive that way, rather than relying on government measures that could be gone if a more free market party gained large voting power. |

| Message | No and no. Firstly, even after you subtract the expenses from government, we still produce an annual surplus of a rounded 46 billion SEK. Furthermore it is the moral thing to do, and since the DSP was the one to originally create the bill producing high levels of aid, we're not going to vote for a change. Secondly our current laws allow us to have free trade with the countries we deem fit, that is free and democratic countries, while at the same time allowing us to impose quotas and tariffs on imports from countries that have sanctions against or are trying to encourage through economic means to change. |
