| Message | concerning article one and two, we see nothing but a competitive evolution in price and technology. Yet, the regional governments still has the opportunity to regulate overproduction by owning and maintaining their own power grids. Article one and two fill each other out. What is your point of view, Capitalistic Liberal Front? We stand to negotiate if you have any better suggestion. At the same time, we understand that we share the same interest in increasing the private sector, right? |

| Message | We aren't fond of the idea of subsidizing rent, but other than that this bill represents a definite improvement. We will support it. |

| Message | I belive article 1 and 2 should stay as they are. nr 1 because i belive private and public powerstations should exict side by side, and nr 2 is simply because i think this is a state matter. |

| Message | If changes is to be made, we need both articles. Regional power grids will increase business. Public powerstations has the opportunity to dominate the market, that is why we want them to be private. Regional powergrids will see to that no overproduction will happen, so this is a totally safe reform. As for article three, we have inspected the budget and there is enough money. Sorry Christian Falangist Party, but we can't remove it. Thanks for supporting one and two though. We hope others see what we see, so we'll pass this to voting. |
