| Message | I shall be a humbug and note that this bill was not put through the debate stage of the Kundrati Senate, it is a custom of this great nation to put bills up for debate before passing legislation. DLK Shall oppose this bill, because the bill is very radical, it could promote hefty competition towards our local manufacturers as well as Kundrati Corporates, tariffs were created to help our Kundrati businesses have a chance in this country. Article 1 is the only policy We agree with |
