Message | Prosperity, I think he got his words mixed up, more like "A people's plan for poverty". Horrible. |
Date | 10:50:53, April 10, 2016 CET | From | Free Socialist Coalition | To | Debating the A People's Plan for Prosperity |
Message | Mr Speaker, I don't understand why tax payer's money should be spent on buying all these companies out when they're doing a fine job as it is. For example article 4 - you are removing the competition which will clearly drive up prices. Andrew Smith GUP Leader |

Random quote: "If democracy is ever to be threatened, it will not be by revolutionary groups burning government offices and occupying the broadcasting and newspaper offices of the world. It will come from disenchantment, cynicism and despair caused by the realization that the New World Order means we are all to be managed and not represented." - Tony Benn |
