Description[?]:
| My colleagues. The Fascist party believes that a strong economy begets a strong country. Of late we have opened ourselves up to foreigners allowing them to control our economy while giving a pittance to our people. No more! The NFP aims to provide a stable and secure NATIONAL economy to the people of Dranland so that we do not get involved with foreign economic oppression preventing us from controlling our national direction. With this legislation the NFP calls for the airline, shipbuilding and shipping industries to be brought under national control. Silas Orkard |

| Message | Mr Speaker, in economics, 'security' is equal to prosperity, and prosperity can only be maintained if we allow for a free inflow of foreign investment while remaining committed to laissez-faire capitalism. Erin Woodward MP Member for Elbian Minister of Trade and Industry |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Once again the RFR shows that they care more about their corporate paymasters than the people. We should be encouraging and promoting steady, well paying jobs for people while providing services for the people. We cannot and should not be encouraging such a volatile "Free market" where the national economy is whored out to foreign nationals and where the common man cannot provide for his family.! Silas Orkard, GCF Vice Chair |
