| Message | Comrade speaker I would like to welcome our fellow party into Kalistan. The NDP wishes them a warm welcome and is excited to work with the whites party and see a progressive future for all of Kalistan. As for the bill, the NDP would support article 3 if it was a bill of its own. But as for article 2 and 1. We oppose, we believe that not having the government owning the banks and the government not controlling the major industries would hurt our growth, hurt the economy, and make corporate greed more common. We would also like the whites party to read all the treaties and the cultural history of Kalistan. To better understand what Kalistan stands for and what our history was. Again we wish a warm welcome to the whites party. We yield |
