| Message | "Mr. Speaker" "This will be the down fall of the Labour wing of our market, just like when the upper classes are given to much room to exist and feel like they deserve to defile others. Sir, I don't care if you're a fascist, conservative, or a damn satanist, you're not Hosian and far from loving." Karl Jinx LPU MP |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I was just waiting for Karl to come along showing how little he knows about economics, the free market and our party. This would give people the right to earn their own money and make their own fortunes. Now i would beg of you not to be silly and see that the free market is what can make this country even better. The freedom of the individual must come first. Not regulations on the market that do nothing but to keep it down. Anders Borg minister of Finance |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We agree with Article 2 and 3. Article 1 is too far, however, as it allows businesses to pay their employees a wage they could not survive on. This would cause more poverty, and it could lead to starvation. How the hell do you justify banning the minimum wage? Rhiannon Aurora Unity Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Miss Aurora how about we try to keep things civil in here? We represent the people. And to answer your question it's very simple. We think that the market should set the wages in the country if we are to have a true free market. And since unions are allowed once more they can come up with a fair wage for their workers right? Anders Borg minster of Finance |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We understand everyone in here represents the people. Saying 'hell' isn't exactly barbarous. Also, this allows companies to create their own wages. It doesn't reserve a union's right to negotiate with an employer. Companies will always, respectably, go for the lowest possible wage. Rhiannon Aurora Unity Leader |
| Date | 23:18:14, April 09, 2016 CET | From | Conservative Right | To | Debating the Economic Freedom bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, Mrs Aurora are you saying that the unions are so useless that they can not negotiate the wage for their members? Then what are they bloody for? Anders Borg Finance minster |
| Date | 23:42:47, April 09, 2016 CET | From | United Centre | To | Debating the Economic Freedom bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, Nothing, cause you haven't given them any powers. Rhiannon Aurora Unity Leader |
