| Message | No. Simply no. This is far too interventionist for the AD. |

| Message | M. Speaker I'm so sad that this sénat has become a sénat for the rich people! The AD, The GI, the RPR and in fact also the PN are parties who only think about the rich and if a social party wants to vote a bill, they all protect the rich people, because they don't want to give their money to the poor. It's so sad and I hope the voters will see this during the next elections! |

| Message | Says the party who opposed tax cuts for the middle-class. If you want a more prosperous people, take less from them! The AD supports taxing the rich at higher rates than the poor. How is this protecting them? Please do tell me! Enlighten us O wise MSR! Jobs and economic growth are fueled by the private sector, not the overly bureaucratic Government. Banks are more efficiently administered by the private sector. It is known. |

| Message | We can't let the private sector do what they want andlet them lead this nation because they dont think about the people. They think only with their wallet! Its time for banks of the state so the state can decide and lead. The profit goes tho the people. |

| Message | It's called regulating the private sector. You can partially control what they do, plus the Government is already taking away just under a quarter of private sector profits. The Government doesn't need to own the banks when it can regulate them... |

| Message | The Alliance des Démocrates doesn't have a program. They have no economic program, they only wants to have power, but they cannot govern (and I know it, because I have governed with them). They think they are les Démocrates, but they don't want to support openly a republic of Rildanor. These people are liars! |

| Message | I'd like to point out I did vote in favour of establishing a republic. It's just that our party is very cautious when it comes to major changes in Rildanor's constitutional status. Also, our economic program is centrist. The economy needs both sides to function properly; the private sevtor to create jobs and growth and the government to keep the private sector in check and ensure everyone benefits equally from the jobs and prosperity created by our private sector. Are you too blind to see this is what we believe in? Government ownership of banks would make them less competitive, which is bad for consumers. However, the AD completely and whole-heartedly supports regulating them so that consumers can benefit from stability. |

| Message | A lack of competition among banks can lead to a risk-averse culture that is sure to harm the economy. |

| Message | OOC: MSR, a big part of this game is centred on winning elections, so of course I want to win. However, this game favours non-centrist parties, both on the left and on the right... So I maintain no illusion that I would come out first place in an election... |
| Date | 13:55:32, June 15, 2014 CET | From | Parti Nationaliste 🌞 | To | Debating the proposal for banks of state |
| Message | For the government to own and control all banks, a big chunk of budget must be alloted to the Finance ministry since all banks will be under its jurisdiction. This is impossible to implement without additional budget increase approved by majority of all members of this Senate. |
