| Date | 23:01:59, November 21, 2011 CET | From | Konservative Partei | To | Debating the Clean Homeland Act |
| Message | The socialists continue their vapid, evidence-free pursuit of a failed ideological world view. These unnecessary proposals will serve only to encumber suppliers and businesses, and destroy their ability to increase productivity. The proposals will therefore eliminate the essential preconditions for economic growth, while failing to have a discernible effect on the environment. It is a waste of time and a waste of money. - Jonas Pfeiffer, environment spokesperson for the Konservative Partei. |
