| Message | I find the current government's rejection of this bill to be typical of it's backward looking approach to economics. You can give people all the personal freedom they want, allowing them to abort their babies left right and centre but how can they have any sort of life without the welath creating impact of economic liberation!

| Message | A life die the super rich? A life for all. What makes me laugh about Socialists is that they do not care that the poor are poor so long as the rich are poorer too... What you would have is that we all suffer, when in reality yes the gap may widen but at least we would all be better off. That is the kind of freedom we would allow. Margaret Stonemason KCP Leader |

| Message | Madame Thatcher, I mean Stonemason, is making a fair critique of socialism. We could, however, only support a mild deregulation. Edouard Vaillant Chancelier |
