Message | We completely oppose the right-wing notion of 'social worth' of people. The TWP fully stands behind its 'No Borders' stance, therefore shall vote against the bill |

Message | Jobs are offered by society for people in society. You come to Al'Badara you're part of society. Skilled migrants can help Al'Badara more then unskilled citizens can. Stop the xenophobia. |

Message | "Jobs are offered by society for people in society. You come to Al'Badara you're part of society. Skilled migrants can help Al'Badara more then unskilled citizens can. Stop the xenophobia." Yeah, except if your a foreigner you can't invest in local companies. I thought DN! was against xenophobia. Are you scared they will steal our business? Investment is offered by society for people in society. Nice double standards. |

Message | Looking slightly deeper than utter superficiality, being against foreign investment isn't xenophobic. It's not the notion that the invester is 'foreign' (TWP does not recognise the notion of foreign), but industry should, and is, owned by the workers of said factory or office. A society run by workers councils has no need for 'foreign' investment; likewise, other nations would have no need to invest. |
Date | 07:03:09, February 27, 2008 CET | From | Christian Nationalist Front | To | Debating the d |
Message | There is no variance of the definition of a foreign investor. A foreign investor is a foreign national, no ifs or buts about it. |

Message | Gasp! They can't invest n local companies! They can only purchase goods from those companies and provide labor. |

Message | Gasp! DN! claims equality but votes another way. |

Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
