| Message | I disagree that investment should be free, there should be some restriction to boost national companies |

| Message | "Once again the Patriciate Coalition shows that their policies are ineffective and utterly nonsensical. Limiting foreign investment in our economy can only prove to hinder the growth of our economy. We should be actively courting foreign investors, not restricting them by ludicrous xenophoic laws." -Nicolaas van der Burgh Chairman of the HNP DM for Graaffsberg South HNP Spokesman on Finance |

| Message | We're not sure that the extreme reaction was quite appropriate, we were not saying that we disagreed entirely, only that there should be some restriction at least. We of course do not support full restriction, which would be suicidal for our economy. |

| Message | "I still fail to see how xenophobic invementment restrictions would in any way help our economy. If we develop a system that is prejudiced against foreign investors, then there is less of an incentive for them to do business with us." -Nicolaas van der Burgh Chairman of the HNP DM for Graaffsberg South HNP Spokesman on Finance |

| Message | It is not xenophobic in the slightest, it is giving an advantage to home investors on home terf. |
