| Message | Article 1 is a step in the right direction Article 2 is unneccessary, private enterprises don't need to be told what to do by the government. |

| Message | Well people should be able to decide if they want a nuclear power plant in their area, one, because nuclear power is dangerous if handled wrong, but it cheap and produces a lot of energy with no pollution, but then again its also very dangerous if something were to go wrong and if a meltdown were to occur then it leaves miles and miles of the surrounding area uninhabitable for generations, and its not the government that should be worried about a nuclear reactor blowing up hundreds of miles away, it the people who are less than a hundred miles away from the plant and its their life that is destroyed, and so for that reason people in their own area should have the right to decide whether of not they want something like that in their area. |

| Message | If people dont want a nuclear power plant in their area they are free to protest against it, theres really no need for local governemnt to get involved. Meltdowns are fortunately very rare, and so long as the plant is well designed it should not happen. While we understand peoples concerns about nuclear power stations, it doesnt justify goverment involvement. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
