| Date | 00:32:08, August 01, 2007 CET | From | Capitalist Working Families | To | Debating the Nationalization if Important Public Services |
| Message | (1) If a SINGLE private company owns the national power grid, they would have a MONOPOLY thus causing the price of electricity and energy to skyrocket on the backs of poor working Rutanians; (2) If the Government owns a DE FACTO monopoly of all power stations, the same result would occur. (3) Fire stations should be left to the control of local governments. The Federal government is too BUSY to put out fires. |
| Date | 01:36:48, August 01, 2007 CET | From | Neo-Whig Party | To | Debating the Nationalization if Important Public Services |
| Message | As the Neo-WHig Party originally proposed the current first two proposals, We will have to deny these laws' passage. |
