| Message | Mr Speaker this is a wonderful proposal. The state must retreat from the economic area to give way to what has been proven to be the more efficient way to run the economy countless times in history, namely the free market. Prof. Hans Granlund FV Party Leader |

| Message | Suddenly, Viktor Danielsson come in parliament and say he remplace his sister who did not wake up and does not want to wake up. Mr Speaker this is nothing then trahison from the so called left-wing parties, letting foreign investor freely investing in any area and taking control of our economy, letting stock exchange unregulated, while there is nothing with our own public sotcks exchange, Stripping citizen of their phone services, letting compagny advertise how they want and possibly lie to Public. I can tell that company will lie to the public, how do you think the Skugga-Ljus grow to be a very important company, we, the first CEO, my father, my grand-father and those, all lied to the public to sell their products. nothing news. yeah, we got a deficit and seem like no one cared about it since many times, but that is simply because we have very weak taxation, not overspending.

| Message | Mr Speaker, As Hans-Peder Juel recently explained quite eloquently, we believe the state has been doing the wrong things. While we would want more regulation than Fremskritt is proposing, such as regulations on advertising to protect the consumer and stock exchanges to be regulated, I find it hard to disagree with the general thrust of the regulations. Perhaps if the government would stop trying to run so many companies in the financial sphere, it would find the time and money to invest in services people really need, like more efficient and affordable railways or an end to private kingdoms in the energy market. Ingbert Mathiassen (FP-Hent) Parliamentary Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker The government don't run the compagnies directly, it only regulated as the companies can be run by themselves. The only true difference between pubic and private is the goal of that company. Nathalie Danielsson, Depute for the FKA |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Did I miss some statute by which altruism was nationalised and the state gained the sole right to claim to work for the public good? I can't believe my ears! I know that to many starting entrepreneurs and even those who have inherited or bought into companies, they do so not just to make money but because it is their passion and their way to serve others, provide them with something they need. Profit, for many passionate entrepreneurs (and I'm not talking big business, I am talking small, medium and family businesses), is their way of making a living out of their passion for providing others with something they need but otherwise won't get. There's nothing inherently evil about profit, providing it isn't earned over the backs of others - which in 99% of the cases, if not 99,9%, it is not. Ingbert Mathiassen |

| Message | Mr Speaker. we are not saying money is evil, but having too much money serve nothing, there is good reason why there should be a maximum salary, as money lead to power and abuse, beside, money does not lead to happiness. < We never said the state nationalized altruism, but that the state does not directly run the companies as these companies have their own direction. The central government does not run them as they don't know how to run all entreprise, they nomminate specialists or workers to run them. and our plan provide that all state companies being run by democratic worker's councils, not the state. Nathalie Danielsson, Depute for the FKA |
