| Message | The people's government has provided much for the people we serve. The liberal thinking of the MPU will only lead to an economy dominated by multinational corporations. Our people will be no more than mere wage slaves putting together trinkets to be shipped around the world. As a protection of our people, the Malivianese Militarist Party says NO. |

| Message | If we do not atract foreign (or even other) investers then our population will be derived from the basic right of work. When we allow companies to encourage trade in the less vital fields of the market then we will allow them to invest and encourage growth. For the overall good of the nation. |

| Message | Foreign investors are more than welcome to invest in the proven companies owned by our people. While this may be a basic right of work to you, to the people it is a guarantee of work and a guarantee from exploitation which will befall our citizens with the invasion of multinational corporations. The people won't see the profits as they are now for the companies will just take it to their home nation. |

| Message | And what is wrong with that? So do OUR companies do. This international flow of capital helps the brotherhood among nations and ensures that no crisis can completely destroy a nations economy. It will of course be more difficult to create an economical climate which attracts companies, but this itself will ensure new jobs and new ways of making money for our citizens. In a nation in which the state operates all industry the primary and the secondary sectors are much bigger than the very rewarding tertiary sector. A sector requiring highly educated people. Will we stand by as other nations steal the fruit of our educated children. We should give them a chance at home. We should allow our children to start their own businesses. Do you not have trust in their capapbilities? Do you not want to give the Malivian people this chance? |

| Message | We support this measure. The introduction of many different models and approaches to industry should be encouraged. |

| Message | Obviously support. I'm curious as to how the current law got passed, because I never would have supported such an authoritative infringement on economic freedom. |

| Message | it was passed in one of the omnibills of the previous Assembly. We believe the PP voted in favor of the time due to other issues in the bill, but happy to get rid of it now. |
