| Date | 19:02:38, December 04, 2007 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Nationalisation of the economy |
| Message | Whilst we do not support the "free market" as being the only way to make our citizens wealthy, we distrust the free market greatly, we do not accept that nationalising the entire economy will be good for our citizens either. Rather we prefer the current model which keeps infrastructure in the hands of the state, as well as some vital provisions, and allow private business to deal with the wants of the people. |
