| Message | Hmm ... we cannot support this. Farm size should remain small and many of our rural supporters would find themselves out of land. Kanjor has a tradition of small farmers who cooperate to work each other's farms, but they still remain private. To allow large farms to develop would be to invite large agribusinesses into running the majority of Kanjorien farms and farmland. That is anti-Kanjorien. |

| Message | ... although we certainly approve of the end to the government owned and run fishing industry. |
