| Message | No, too much government control. Sounds interesting for the Fascist Party to say, but we think this is best left to privately-owned companies run for profit. |
| Date | 00:54:06, December 27, 2007 CET | From | 2ème PPPP | To | Debating the FIRE POWER |
| Message | I don't see to much room for positive competition with firefighting and power supply. |
| Date | 03:02:02, December 27, 2007 CET | From | Union Pour Un Movement Populaire | To | Debating the FIRE POWER |
| Message | private power stations cause competition which would increase demand for cheaper more efficient energy which could only help the environment. |

| Message | I disagree. A lot. Just look at that "Earth" place and its oil prices. Nationalized energy is controlled by this government which is in turn controlled by the people. Privatized energy is controlled by greed. |
| Date | 20:36:25, December 27, 2007 CET | From | Parti Libertaire | To | Debating the FIRE POWER |
| Message | We like article 1, but we still wouldn't vote for this bill. The local governments can better deal with the people they are responsible for and are less susceptible to the large sweeping changes a single governing body can wreak upon a country. |

| Message | We "own" the post office, but yet our stamp prices keep going up, and no one has ever voted for a Postmaster General. |

| Message | Time to smack down the postal service! |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
