Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Date | 01:15:26, May 17, 2008 CET | From | Telamon National Party | To | Debating the Free Market Power Act |
Message | Electricity is a essential service that the people of Telamon need, we do not believe it should be run on a profit making basis. |
Date | 01:20:58, May 17, 2008 CET | From | Humanic Republicanist Party | To | Debating the Free Market Power Act |
Message | The current situation gives power to one private company. One that can charge any price it wants for power and is protected by the government from competition that would force prices to go lower. Either the power prices must be controlled by the government, or by the free market. |
Date | 10:53:00, May 17, 2008 CET | From | Rightful Radical Party | To | Debating the Free Market Power Act |
Message | We vote against this bill. Vojislav Krkljus Chairman of the RRP |
Date | 11:18:02, May 17, 2008 CET | From | Telamon National Party | To | Debating the Free Market Power Act |
Message | We would prefer Nationalisation. As for this proposal, it will just result in companies having different prices in different areas. This bill does not allow for more than one business to compete in any one area/grid of the market. |
Date | 21:51:04, May 17, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the Free Market Power Act |
Message | We also prefer nationalization of the power grid, but we would rather have multiple private companies maintain the grid than hand a monopoly to a corporation. James Lott Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |
