| Message | "Despite strong reservation on Article 2, Green Solentia supports the notion of intraindustrial networking." |
| Date | 22:03:24, February 23, 2011 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Business Defence Act of 3080 |
| Message | We fail to see how forbidding Democratic Workers' Councils from running a workplace is an example of "free" market economic policy. The current government policy of not condoning nor forbidding them is acceptable. Article 2 is fine with us, but not Article 1. Senator Brandon Helmkamp SDP Vice Chancellor |
