| Message | The private sector, working with a profit motive, often provides more efficient service for a cheaper cost to the consumer. The government should only step in when it is clear the private sector is unable to perform the function reasonably. Here, the private sector is already regulated, so the government has all the power to ensure a greener environment. There is no reason for the government to destroy the private waste disposal industry. |

| Message | This is funny JUP. Now you claim the private sector, working for a profit motive, provides more effective and cheaper service. However, in the bill with the train sector being privatised, you stated the complete opposite. Sham politics with parties bending the way whichever way they feel like is what is going to ruin the nation. |

| Random quote: As for rape, of course, that is a direct consequence of the capitalist system of oppression. Capitalism relies on fuelling division and resentment to sustain itself, and so it sets men against women, race against race and so on. Men rape women because they are being oppressed by capitalism, so they take it out on women. Under Communism, there will be no rape, because there will be a full and natural harmony and equality between the genders. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
