| Message | Mr. Chairman, If you do indeed decide to adopt this approach- refusing to recognise the rights of your nation's labour force- then you will soon see that your government, along with the corrupt nobility which it holds in place, shall be absolutely shattered by the working class. Angela Vyacheslavovna First Secretary of the Movement for Worker's Emancipation |

| Message | The nobility holds minor rights and is more ceremonial. Anyhow, what you are proposing will actually worsen the position of the working class, since this will remove competition in almost all sectors of industry, meaning businesses will have more control over their prices and will be able to put them high, meaning our same working class will be unable to afford anything. The only two systems that work are extensive interventionism/state capitalism or a central planned economy. Either introduce reforms that immediately transfer to a command economy, and we might change our opinion (even though this is unlikely), or keep things the way they are. You also claim to be protectors of the working class, while you strip corporations of money to pay their workers and do not wish to compensate the people who get their houses brought down on order of the government. This is hypocrisy. Count Kirill Borisov Chairman of the Committee of Ministers |
