Description[?]:
| "Honourable Members of Parliament, we called early elections some months ago because we thought that the centre-left parties, that won the election with 305 seats, weren't able to form a cabinet for internal issues. They lacked to present a cabinet, their agenda for their government, and the lack of proposals by the government leaved us puzzled. But the elections didn't solved the situation, the percentages of votes remained the same, pretty much, and we believe that we can't go again on elections without trying to solve this situation. We want to show to the Parliament our proposal for a cabinet formed by three parties: Istalian Democracy (DI), Istalian Liberal Party (PLI) and Populars for Istalia (PPI). However, these parties have only 301 seats, so we, as the Istalian Liberal Party, want to propose a minority government, counting by the abstention of one of the parties that aren't part of the government. We want to introduce too our agenda for the next four years, obviously, if this cabinet proposal will pass. We ask to all the parties to evaluate carefully our proposal. ▶ Economy ● Tax percentage of the profit made by corporations. Proposal: 15 ● Sales tax on luxury goods. Proposal: 35 ● The government's policy concerning phone services. Proposal: There are no regulations on phone service. ● The government's position towards the stock exchange(s). Proposal: Stock exchanges are allowed and are unregulated. ▶ Education ● Higher education institutions. Proposal: The government maintains a system of universities, vocational schools, and colleges nationwide. ▶ Media ● Radio stations. Proposal: All radio stations are private. ● Television stations. Proposal: All television media are private. ▶ Culture ● The government's policy towards the funding of libraries. Proposal: The national government contracts with private companies to maintain a system of libraries. ● The government's policy concerning museum funding. Proposal: The national government maintains a system of museums nationwide. ▶ Tecnology ● The government's policy on internet service providers (ISPs). Proposal: Private companies provide internet service throughout the nation, without government interference. ▶ Ecology ● Forest management. Proposal: There is a national agency which owns all forests, but subcontracts the work to private companies. ▶ Infrastructure ● Public works initiatives. Proposal: The government contracts with private corporations to build public works. ● Government policy on nuclear power. Proposal: The government encourages nuclear power (subsidies, tax relief etc). ● Government policy on the nation's power grid. Proposal: Multiple private companies each own and maintain sections of the national power grid. ● The government policy regarding housing. Proposal: All housing is privately-owned. ● Train Operating Companies (TOC). Proposal: Private companies operate TOCs throughout the country. ▶ Welfare ● The government's policy concerning the pension system. Proposal: The state offers a voluntary public pension, combined with other voluntary private pensions. We will hear any remark from other parties about our proposal. We want to end this critical situation soon, and we believe that our proposal can be helpful. Thank you everybody for the attention." - Luca Grassano, Istalian Liberal Party's Whip of the Chamber of Deputies |

| Message | Mario Giuliotti, Whip of DI party: "We approve this proposal and hope that some other party will approve too; if PSLI don't want to create a government with SEL and LDE, and they don't approve our government proposal because they don't like some parties in the coalition, Istalia will not have a government for next years, so we ask PSLI to see the government proposal and not parties: we will do what is write on the proposal, not our interests" |

My party has decided to abstein itself from the vote on this cabine proposal, because we are ready to support many of this proposal and we want work because this proposal come to reality. But, we also assure you that no one of the most undemocratic and inhuman too proposal of this program will see the light! Abolish the National Pension System? Are you mad or what? And it will no possible for this government affect a foundamental instrument of income redistribution as the tax on the luxury good. So, procede with your government, we choose the responsibility, but remember you that this is not a green light for you neo-liberal programs. We will fight again all the menace against the social rights of the citizens, we will fight the proposal that, as the history showed us, can only increase the social injustice and that puts in danger the foundamental services of the state for our citizens. Thank you" |
