| Message | It is useless to have a nationalized post office. Private services are interested in profit, meaning that they will do what is necessary to be as efficient as possible. However, private companies are also regulated by competition, meaning that they must serve the best quality to its customers or risk going into bankrupcy and being replaced by another private company. This system assures that customers always have the best service at the lowest price. A government agency that runs a transport service will only be inefficient because government officials have no motivation of profit. In addition, private companies have strictly limited funds whilst the government has unlimited taxpayer funds. We ask the parties of Luthori to do what is best for the people and promote the free market. this bill is taking one step further towards socialism. The Nationalists say that they oppose socialism and communism, however, their policies are a direct reflexion of a far leftist agenda. |

| Message | I would rather there be both, so if one is proposed that allows both then I will take that one. |

| Message | How can it be justifiable to steal money from people that only use the private ones? We would agree that a governemnt own project could be implemented, but one that is payed with the users' money, not that of those who dont use it. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
