| Message | Mr Speaker, We are voting against this bill because we understand the difference between a co-operative group of investors and a 'democratic worker's council'. The latter needing no capital and generally causing trouble for the rightful owners of industry. If workers wish to own a company, let them raise the capital through loans and buy it the way it has always been done. |
