| Message | This incident is a dangerous reminder that this planet is a fragile place and it doesn't take much for the system on which we and everyone rely to fall to pieces It has recently emerged that the effects of this leak are going to impact Mordusia and ensure that future generations are left without beautiful wildlife to study and enjoy. We in the Capitalist Party believe action must be taken immediately but do feel that this is not the right way to do it. I think that the Labour Party are doing nothing but attack the private sector for a few people's mistake from one company. This bill will not help the situation, taking out a vast center of the economy and leaving many unemployed just so Labour can run the myth that government is more reliable than the private sector. Make no mistake, this bill isn't aimed at helping the environment or helping the community recover, it is about nationalising a very large business. |

| Message | The law was changed in 4186 to take disposal powers away from government & leave responsibility to the private sector, this has been the result. There were no disasters of this kind under the old system. We would be open to allowing local government to have the responsibility, but events have shown that the current system is not working. |

| Message | This is one incident! One slip up! What makes you think that this would be impossible under nationalisation? Accidents are bound to happen no matter who's in charge and there is reason to believe that this accident could have occurred under government control and probably would've. I hate to say it but the left are exploiting this accident and manipulating it against the private sector, sure it is not perfect but it is a good system. |

| Message | '...there are worries that a similar incident could happen in their other plants that exist throughout Mordusia'. We are unapologetic about protecting Mordusia's environment, however others are obviously wedded to free market ideology whatever the consequences. |

| Message | This is not a result of the free market this is simply a result of poor care in certain areas which would still happen under a nationalised system. If you truly believe in saving the environment you should focus on regulations and extra inspections, slapping a government sticker on something and banning private companies from doing the work for you is not going to solve this issue. |
