| Message | Mr Speaker, We bring to the house a proposal of privatisation. We - although a socialist party - believe the banking system is better off in the private sector as it is not essential. It is clear that the private sector is more likely to create more jobs than government owned companies. If this does not work and the private sector does not properly address the problem of job creation we see a need to nationalise again we see no problem to do this. Let's give it 10 years.
