| Message | If you left this for debate, and didn't concatenate proposals together, we would've voted for one. As it stands, we must oppose. Some regulation, especially of financial markets, is beneficial. It causes increased investor confidence, which boosts investment in the country. On the other hand, subsidies are almost universally a bad thing. We will abolish those. |
