| Message | I don't know about this one. The banks ought to be in the nation's hands, but laws on the dangerous fireworks (aka explosives) are prefered. Laws requiring government approval for investments are not a bad idea, althought the current system is equally strong and allowing gambling is stupid, unless we tax it well and make sure no private casino owner benefits from the stupidity of the masses. |

| Message | No to private banks! Private banking is the most naked and corrupt form of capitalist plunder. We do, however, support the measures to increase restrictions on foreign investment and use of fireworks. |
| Date | 04:08:51, September 21, 2007 CET | From | Demokratisk Pacifist Partiet | To | Debating the KIP Economics Act |
| Message | I agree with allowing private banking and some legal gambling, but not with forcing foreign investors to jump through more hoops to invest in our nation's industries. As for the fireworks laws, I'd prefer a simple age restriction on buying them, but I'm willing to comprimise with you on this one. I'd say I support this bill more than I disagree with it. The restrictions on foreign investment can be eased later, if political conditions allow. ;) |
