Message | We see no conflict. Our national security should be held within the hands of the Convocation, as should all vital concerns. If Lodamese businessmen want to monopolise the Board of Executives in the Sorbanikan "Konichiwa Fascisti" factory, we applaud their nerves of steel. |
Date | 21:17:49, September 30, 2007 CET | From | Democratic Workers' Party and CTUL List | To | Debating the Take-Over Protection |
Message | We consider this primarily redundant considering our anti-corporationist political ideology. Ideally, all industry would be run by Democratic Workers' Councils, and therefore this point is rather more "miss" than "hit". In a secondary sense, we consider this counter-progressive to our internationalist agenda. We therefore vote against, though reluctantly given our wishes not to be seen dabbling in business. |
