| Message | So what you are basically suggesting is a government monopoly on all money making organisations, i cant help but wonder that this will decrease the motivation to provide better services for the public and im not even going to mention the negative effect this would have on the economy. |
| Date | 15:21:03, January 14, 2009 CET | From | Green Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Social Ownership Bill |
| Message | We are not going to vote on this one, because we strongly support proposals 1 and 5, but not the others. |
