| Message | Absolutely Not. |
| Date | 22:47:17, September 09, 2007 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Emergency Investment for vital needs |
| Message | "Basic and critical hygiene services", as you say, will never face bankruptcy. In a free market, while there are basic needs that demand to be served there will always be enterprises offering their services. Besides, if a enterprise/industry stops moving why should the government subsidize it or why should the taxpayers take the burden? If it stops moving pehaps it isn't competitive enough. As you might expect, we'll vote no. This is our stance and we'll not change it. |

| Message | The ideological fundamentalism of the government is very charming, but its a fact that sectors of the economy sometimes collapse. This must be accounted for in order to maintain the quality of life for the Darnussian people. We support. |

| Message | Free market will go down if we face a worldwide downfall, that's for sure. Banks and other vital elements of our economy MUST be protected because of that. It is a shame that government does not prepare for things like that. |
