| Message | We would gladly vote for the foreign-investments one if proposed separately. (More so because we don't like the current law on that issue, so, even the proposed change would be a nice improvement.) |

| Message | Okay, I'm going to be honest, my party is not the biggest fan of localism and it probably never will be, but whenever I vote no it tends to change my views on market civil rights etc. so we will probably abstain from all of these localism bills. |
