| Message | Article 1 would be ruinous to private investment. Giving the government the power to seize property at its own discretion puts everyone at risk. The incentive to make capital improvements to land would be significantly diminished, especially since the definitions of "vital" and "government works" are laughably vague. |
| Date | 05:21:25, December 31, 2009 CET | From | The Worker's Reform Party | To | Debating the Futher Reforms |
| Message | It is important that we have the ability to seize certain lands for vital projects such as roads, bridges, etc. The owners receive payment as determined by themselves, as settled in a current law. Check the legislative records, that issue has already been resolved, seeing as they will be compensated suiting to them. |
