Date | 21:17:35, November 18, 2016 CET | From | Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) | To | Debating the Economic renewal and liberalization bill of 4122 |
Message | "I understand that a fascist would belive that, however that totalitarian view on economics has no basis in reality. In what way do we create prosperity by oppressing workers? How will we gain capital and wealth by restricting private investments in our economy? It's contradictory. If we do not liberalize our society and indeed our economy nothing in Telamon will grow, neither humans nor businesses." Mark Paulson Chairman of LDP |
Date | 21:29:37, November 18, 2016 CET | From | Liberal Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Economic renewal and liberalization bill of 4122 |
Message | I agree we should give more rights to workers. But these proposals are flawed. If you change the bill, we will support it next time. |

Message | I'm glad to hear that RWM is pro-worker, one can always trust socialists to fight for the little guy. My party is open and ready to negotiate, do you wish to proceed privately or should we discuss this openly? Mark Paulson Chairman of LDP |
