Message | We agree on every point except 3! |

Message | Article 3 will ensure that the fruits of the labour of all fishermen are distributed equally among them. Furthermore, it would also help to protect dwindling fish stocks and give them a chance to replenish their numbers. |

Message | Nationalization will put an end to free market in that sector. We would like you to reintroduce this bill, but only with the other parts, so we can vote for it and pass it. |
Date | 18:20:13, March 07, 2014 CET | From | Kommunisticheskaya Partiya | To | Debating the Animal Protection Act |
Message | The free market shows complete disregard for the number of fish in our seas. The free market preaches mass-consumption and eventually our fish stocks will disappear and will never return. Then we will have no fish or jobs for fishermen. The bill will pass anyway, whether your party supports it or not. |
