| Message | No. No, no, no. A million times no. Energy is a basic need, we think the government is best suited for this, for the sake of being able to charge in a way that doesn't make it necessary for us to earn profits. That's what taxes are for. We charge the citizens the most basic of costs for energy. Private, unregulated business is an evil in and of itself. |

| Message | But this proposal says to subsidies the energy for low income people. And dont you think the that the state regulated monopoly is a less efficient method? |

| Message | Will have to definitely vote no, since this means deregulation of a basic need of the people, and we just do not have 'low-income' people in the country to look after. What about the rest, push them to a crisis situation financially and in the energy sector? Nationalised energy provision already means that there is sufficient regulation regarding production, distribution and storage, finances, subsidies, etc. including for the lo-incomes, of the energy demands of people. this move cannot be accepted! |

| Message | The state regulated monopoly is a far more efficient method. If we were to regulate private companies to make sure that the low income population was indeed subsidized, then the red tape would be enormous. This would also put more of a financial strain on the government. Not only that, but who's to say that even with the subsidized rates that energy would be cheaper? This is just bad news as well. |
