| Message | We oppose this agenda. |
| Date | 11:23:33, February 09, 2006 CET | From | League of Conservatives | To | Debating the Social Economy Bill |
| Message | I believe this would create too much of a state run economy, and not enough privatisation of the major industries. Thus we oppose. |
| Date | 14:30:48, February 09, 2006 CET | From | People's National Unity Movement (RDL) | To | Debating the Social Economy Bill |
| Message | This would not create a state run economy but a worker run economy - thus economic decisions would be taken neither by cliques of businessmen or cliques of bureaucrats but by the working people themselves. In essence this bill represents the expansion of democracy into a whole new sphere. |
| Date | 01:10:31, February 10, 2006 CET | From | Lutte Féministe de Libération | To | Debating the Social Economy Bill |
| Message | We're less interested in appearing Socialist and ready to return to our moderate liberal ways, so we will vote no, though we support Articles 1 and 2. |
