| Message | The People's Party has always been against prescribing a model of ownership for industries and other businnesses. If a particular business decides to follow the DWC model, they should be free to do so, but requiring them to organise along those lines would be straying too far from our prefered model of a socially responsible market economy. |

| Message | So the workers remain exploited, and at the mercy of international big business under the Liberals. |

| Message | The workers of Aldegar can form Democratic Workers Councils, if they wish to. The People's Partay simply doesn't tell them they have to. And the workers will certainly remember that it was the former Concordia Association which made DWCs iiegal during their term in government, rendering all the CDA's current socialist posturing pretty unconvincing. |
