| Message | Voorzitter, We agree with article 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6. But again, selective schools are important, i want to refer to debates before in wich i showed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hes7RfuNqvU . We think this is only possible with selective schools. Gated communities can be build by private sector, why if a group of people want to and have the money not let them build a few home for themdelfs in a gated community. The stock exchange article depens on the regulations. Sir Kundert, Fraction Leader in Parliament. |
