Description[?]:
| Mr.Speaker, This Proposal Again Indicates our Position on Fiscal Issues. We believe that it is necessary to Privatise the Public TV And Radio Networks as having them Public Only Forces the Government to Spend more.We believe that Privatisation is the best way to Speed up Economic Development. And Regarding Union and Agency Shops,We believe that they are in fact Discriminating Non Union Workers and forces them to join a union.Therefore our party Stands Against the Legalisation Of Such Union And Agency Shops. And Thirdly,we believe that we must not continue to restrict Foreign Investment the way we are doing now,Therefore Our Party Proposes to allow Foreign Investors to Hold A Majority of the Shares in National Companies. Thank you, Emma Clarkson |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
