| Message | This seems less like a coherent agenda, and more like a direct rebuttal to AAS policy... The AAS opposes. There are certain sectors of Likatonian industry that are too IMPORTANT to be left to the caprices of market climates. |

| Message | The RLP opposes only because these do not go far enough - we hav proposed a series of economic reform acts to increase freedom of choice. |

| Message | Immoral, unethical, poison pill bill. Darn you. You're forcing the PCP to vote yes so that we can see options 2 and 3 go through, and making us vote against our stated position on Article 1. Even your bill title suggests this - "in the name of capitalism." Bah! We have capitalism in our party name, so you're blackmailing us into supporting. Well, we will. Our opposition to article 1 is far weaker than our support for articles 2 and 3. That doesn't make me happy about it though. |
