| Message | Privatisation is one thing but this is giving a single company a monopoly. |

| Message | Do you have issues with the word freedom? SINCE* it is the right of all too name their bills, LET* it be be said that the CSP* should not worry nor CARE* about the title's of other parties bills. 1)* CSP bills begin with a capitalisation of the first word. 2)* The habit of other parties to use *capitalisation for particular reason. 3)* see above |

| Message | "Privatisation is one thing but this is giving a single company a monopoly." - Doesn't the government have a monopoly at present? |

| Message | Capitalization of certain words, particularly the first, is a common practice when writing a legal document. In fact, most legislation (at least in the US) contains much more capitalization. I don't care what you name your bills, it just perplexes me as to why privatization equates freedom. |

| Message | Yes, the government has a monopoly actually. And transferring the power to a monopolistic, private company will retain the darksides of bad maintenance. At least, tax burden reduction is the only positive effect. |

| Message | Our party is proud to ensure this bill's swift defeat. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
