Details

Voting deadline: June 3895
Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, the few remaining private businesses in this country are not only burdened by high taxes and unfair competition from state-backed enterprises who do not need to take solid finances or consumer satisfaction into account, but are additionally crippled by overly invasive red tape in the form of labeling requirements. While we believe that such regulation is not wholly superfluous and is needed for market transparency, the current standards are way too restrictive. Companies should not be forced to provide "corresponding nutritional information", a field which should be left to medical professionals and the personal responsibility of mature and educated consumers. Additionally, we should give businesses greater freedom with regards to package design, which is currently restricted by the fact that labels must be displayed so dominantly, as if consumers were unable to turn a package around to see where the information is located. Prof. Hans Granlund FV party leader |

| Message | I think the only difference between my dreams and the dreams of of Mr. Granlund, is that I don't take my dreams for reality. it would be so marvelous if the working people could suddenly see the wrongs of capitalism, take back all means of product and learn about the importance of environnement, we would not need for government anymore, we would not need any state since they would no crime, no injustice. But that is all dreams, that will never happen. Mr. Speaker, this argument is non-sense, state-company are forced to submit to the same regulations as private entreprises and the fact that My Brother is president of a very succesfull company, a private company just show that if you really want to do business, you can do it. We must say no to any fast-track on business.. Nathalie Danielsson, Depute for the Fria Kommunistiska Alliansen |

| Message | Mr Speaker, we believe that founding and running businesses should be made easier so that common people and not only apparent uber-geniuses like the hon. Lady's brother can do it without having to endure endless government chicanes. There may be some mega-companies who can endure even under these circumstances, but it is simply too much for many small businesses. And while it may be admirable to succeed even under a regime which is completely skewed against the private sector, we could unleash so much more potential if we reduced regulation and encouraged innovative young people to become entrepreneurs by launching start-up projects. Entrepreneurial success should not be limited to a select few like the aforementioned brother of the hon. Lady, but made more accessible for everyone who is willing to take a risk and invest some capital. Prof. Hans Granlund FV party leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker If people want to be entrepreneurial, they must learn to be serious and develop some skills, like communication with employee, which is a skill your friends seem to lack and it is not that hard to be a respectfull entreprise, if it was, you would see the communist party pushing for the nationalization of all economy, but we are not pushing on that because it is not important, we simple hope can become responsable of their and not only look for money. If your so called entrepreneurs really want to succeed, to establishing a durable entreprise, they would learn all rules and respect, but they don't want, they want to make a lot of money, then flee with it and sell the company to someone. we have no place for jo-blos inn businesses Nathalie Danielsson, Depute for the Fria Kommunistiska Alliansen |

| Message | Mr Speaker, it is laudable that despite being a communist, the hon. Lady recognizes that entrepreneurs have a role to play in the economy. But at the same time it is very telling that she lectures entrepreneurs about how they are supposed to run there business while supporting each and every bill that makes it harder for them to do so successfully. It is our view that it is not politicians who should decide what it takes to be a good businessman, but the market - and on the marketplace, the consumer is the sole sovereign. It is FV's position that entrepreneurs should be satisfying the wishes of consumers, not those of politicians. Prof. Hans Granlund FV party leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker That is just libertarian non-sense, as politician, we play our role, and that is too protect and guide the weak. and sorry to enlight you, but many consummer are just too weak, the state must protect them. I did not say the entrepreneur had a role in economy, I said they can play a good role in economy, but they can also be a great nuisance. unlike the FV who work with the simpliest logic and see us as robots Nathalie Danielsson, Depute for the Fria Kommunistiska Alliansen |

| Message | Mr Speaker, unlike the hon. Lady, we don't see politicians as being of superior intellect or wisdom than the consumers, after all, we are just as human as them. Therefore, we do not see how we can "protect them" by restricting their choices and repressing their ambitions. If that is "nonsense", then I decline to obtain what must be "wisdom" by that logic. Prof. Hans Granlund FV party leader |
| Date | 23:58:41, August 21, 2015 CET | From | Fria Kommunistiska Alliansen | To | Debating the Anti-Bureaucracy Act, 3894 |
| Message | Mr Speaker We fail ton see why forcing company to reveal information to the costumer restrain the choices of the costumers. we don,t have time to waste trying to put a law that would work in a perfect free market, there is no such thing in reality, company will try to profit from any slip in the law if we let, we should have strong law and maintain them. The only this law does is weaken the protection on consummer, what good is having information on a product is if the consummer can't understand. so when you'll buy my Wine, I'll write, this red wine contain red substance and you can try to find what is the red substance, but in the end, you'Ll never understand Nathalie Danielsson, Depute for the Fria Kommunistiska Alliansen |
