| Message | SWP will have problems passing this pack of proposal's. The proposal 3 is a sensible matter. Should be voted alone. Apart that, the Communist Party of Cobura, has the following position: 1. Shouldn't be so radical. We believe that foreign investors can invest, as long as they don't hold the majority of shares, hence can't make strategic decisions. Anyway, it's not a major problem, this one isn't important enough to make CPC vote agains't the bill. 2. Against. The national production system must be protected from the capitalist open market at any cost. So, Cobura should impose protectionist tariffs on imports. 3. The CPC approves the law as is. Government must, at any time, keep an eye on where the weapons are, and to whom they are sold. |
