| Message | You're starting to look like a marxist. Is the Unionists left-wing? |
| Date | 20:45:42, January 28, 2015 CET | From | Coalition for National Unity [CNU] | To | Debating the Economy and Finance Act 3793 |
| Message | "The Unionists are neither left nor right wing. We believe in national stability; that the Government should be small and efficient but what it does do, it should do thoroughly. Monopolies are a threat to national stability because they threaten low-paid workers and family-owned small businesses. An unregulated stock exchange does not allow the Government to provide stability for its people. Without freely allowing businesses and unions to negotiate their working conditions, we threaten the economic security of our people. We are not left-wing or right-wing, we are pressing for sense and protection of our society's most vulnerable." Viscount Saidi, Unionist Economic Lead |

| Message | "This law would only serve to have the Government own and manage the stock exchange, not close it or end trading on it; the Republicans ought to read the legislation again." Viscount Saidi, Unionist Economic Lead |

We are protecting small Solentian businesses." Viscount Saidi, Unionist Economic Lead |
