| Message | [The LGC votes on the bill as is: Social Democrats: 0 for, 173 against Libertarians: 197 for, 24 against Centrists: 0 for, 4 against Nationalists: 0 for, 70 against Conservatives: 109 for, 22 against Out of the 599 MPs of the LGC, 306 votes in favor while 293 vote in opposition.] --- Mr. Speaker, This bill has majority support and therefore the LGC will vote in favor. Those in favor see this liberating industries from government intervention and allowing the free market to call the shots on them. Opponents see this as potentially disasterous on the industry sector, the lack of regulation possibly leading to abuses by private companies that could lead to social and economic issues down the road. Despite not reaching a majority, the opposition to this seems quite strong and this could end up becoming a divisive issue within the party. Jason Carson, LGC Chairman |
