| Message | Perhaps the Bill proposer could put forth reasons for this change. It seems that a single company gives us an efficient system and a single large monopoly is simpler to regulate than several small, regional monopolies. |

| Message | Indeed it may be simpler to regulate but we do not believe one single monopoly country provides the kind of competitive value to the nation's citizens. |
| Date | 12:28:45, June 06, 2009 CET | From | Popular Moralist Party | To | Debating the National Grid Act |
| Message | Unfortunately the power grid is a natural monopoly and meaningful competition is not possible, we maintain that the best outcome is a well regulated monopoly. |
