| Message | Mr, Speaker, While parts of this proposal seem a good idea, there are parts that are troubling to many of my party. Some of which are the proposals of "Government/State taking control of X ".The approval of majority of my party on this would depend on the Government in question. The current Government we personally fear certain members of having these powers. With the aforementioned and other factors in mind - we will have to vote no on this. However there are a few proposals that we'd back individually. The proposal regarding striking workers is a "no brainer" for one. (though again it depends on the government in power at the time).
