| Message | Disagree. The current law provides the best of both worlds with Government regulation stopping overly expensive services whilst also allowing private companies to reduce the cost to government and the consumers. Also, article 1 allows for small scale generation facilities, which are described within the bill as being "private individuals wish(ing) to produce their own power for their homes, through the use of houseboard generators/solar panels etc," so merely allowing them the choice to produce their own power or use that provided by the national grid. It allows for freedom of choice whilst guaranteeing that national infrastructure is not sold to private companies. |

We are all FIRST CLASS people, regardless of whether we are rich or poor and can afford or not afford to pay for a more expensive seat. From now on, all seats on trains, buses, trams, planes and so on shall be the SAME. We will all travel in the SAME way, TOGETHER. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
