| Message | Could the KPM explain why all industry should be owned by the state (art 3) ? Does the "K" stands for Kommunistisch ? [laughter form the SDM benches] SDM fractionleader in the Nationalrat. |
| Date | 15:04:16, December 23, 2010 CET | From | Konservative Partei Malivia | To | Debating the Power bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, the K stands defnitly not for Kommunistisch, otherwise we would be in favour of Demcoratic worker councils runing businesses. We are on the way to change our view on different issues. |
| Date | 07:47:08, December 24, 2010 CET | From | Sozial Demokraten Malivias | To | Debating the Power bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The KPM has lost its course. Just changing your view will appear as a "confused party"in the eyes of the elecorate in general and conservative voters specificly. |
