| Message | We propose a compromise. We cannot support Article 1; our worker-owned ag cooperatives have been a model of socialist development, and returning ag to the private sector would cause chaos. However, I believe there is a provision on television stations that allows for both independent government-backed co-ops and private ownership. We'd be willing to support that provision. |

| Message | We are advancing the positions preferred by the Population. We do not object to your positions on Agriculture, but as we are not ideologically socialist, we preferred to go with what the people were asking for in polls. As for television media, we may be willing to compromise on that position if the PSU was willing to compromise with us on civil liberties. |
