| Message | The railways belong to the workers and farmers. The people. This vital piece of society belongs in the hands of the people not greedy corrupt corporations. We will obviously vote no in favor of the people. |
| Date | 14:50:56, February 16, 2013 CET | From | Liberal Konservative Partiet | To | Debating the Train System |
| Message | We do appreciate the arguments made on both sides, however we tend to agree with the Senterpartiet and the KSA on this matter. Privatisation in the past has been harmful to the efficiency and the cost of the rail system. |
