| Date | 05:56:36, December 04, 2005 CET | From | Union of Progressive Ulama | To | Debating the An Act to Re-Nationalise the Economy |
| Message | In this, and in other multi-article bills, we will vote to oppose objectionable articles even if coupled with articles we support. Outlawing small family business is not something we can support, nor is banning small fishers (we had a bill to de-nationalize fisheries years ago). It's the same as when we agreed with some of the FC de-nationalizing bill, but disagreed with other parts, so we voted against. |
