| Message | No. If a private post office's prices are too high, people would just use the public one. There's no need to regulate prices up or down. |
| Date | 06:59:58, October 02, 2005 CET | From | Maroon Party | To | Debating the Post Office Bill |
| Message | I also don't understand how regulating prices increases healthy, or any kind of, competition. The whole point of competition is you have differences and they compete... If you regulate everything to be the same, then it's a monopoly. |
| Date | 20:58:28, October 02, 2005 CET | From |  Dorvik Social Democrats | To | Debating the Post Office Bill |
| Message | We agree with the Maroon Party. If there is a public-sector counterpart, there is no reason to regulate the private sector's prices. |
| Date | 02:11:33, October 04, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Post Office Bill |
| Message | I agree with the status quo as well as the idea proposed by the Maroon Party. |
