| Message | It's not a 'reward' - the failing entreprenuer will still be kicked out - but a way of maintaining our economy. See the clause about 'vital goods and services'? You want us to rely on imports? |
| Date | 14:10:46, December 17, 2006 CET | From | Gluaiseacht Shaoráil DhaonlathachIt | To | Debating the State Intervention |
| Message | No, we want to stimulate entrepreneurship. Besides, it would be very odd if a complete branche of industry dissapears at the same time. |

| Message | Ha, we have now seen both the KPF and LPP use xenophobic comments to defend their opposition to two Bills proposed by the DFM. |

| Message | We're no xenophobes, but we are increasingly nationalist and want to see Kirlawan citizens who have interests for the people of Kirlawa in control of industry, rather than global corporations. |

| Message | We are no xenophobes either. However, it would be stupid to allow our own industries to go to the wall and to end up dependent upon foreign companies who do not have the interests of Kirlawans in mind. We have always been a patriotic party, if not an overtly nationalist one (there is a distinction) |

| Message | Besides, we don't support racial segregation in schools, unlike the 'Christian' parties. Who are the real xenophobes and bigots? |
