To	Debating the KPF Manifesto Part 4: Economic Policy
Message	Our position is that the capitalist economic model has it's place, but it has flaws that lead to wider problems. As a result, we are proposing that key national industries be under national control. We also wish to promote the Co-operative model of running businesses. All State-owned enterprises will will be run under DWCs, and we will work with all industries to determine which can benefit most from a syndicalist approach. DWC's in this context will include not only the representatives of employees (with non-union members given the same level of representation as union members), but also of customers. Such companies can be privately owned - and still through vehicles such as stocks - although the DWC should have a minimum 25% share in the business.

Message	Opposed. DWC's can be set up in the current situation as well. The state should play no role in it.

From	Kirlawan Popular Front
To	Debating the KPF Manifesto Part 4: Economic Policy
Message	We are willing to consult on the actual industries, but we would suggest that anything linked to key infrastructure should be included. We would suggest that shipbuilding, basic foodstuff distribution, roadbuilding and other major civil-engineering, steel production, coal-mining and oil/gas extraction should be considered as candidates.
