Message | ..... we do not beleive this is what the people want. ANd if they do, they are mislead. |

Message | this doesn't modernise the fireservice but would reduce its efficiency. Private companies would be more interested in cutting costs than providing a good fire service for the people |

Message | 'This is what the people want, 32.10% said they agreed with the proposed policy, compared to only 19.76% who support the current policy.' Statistics: 19.76% There is a national fire department, funded by the government. 22.18% The fire department is entirely volunteer, equipment and expenses paid for by the government. 32.10% The government competitively subcontracts firefighting services. 17.13% Fire prevention and management is left to the local governments. 8.83% The government has no fire management policy. 'Subcontracting means that companies will be forced to do a good job or they will lose their contract. This will ensure a better service than the current one, where there is no incentive to work.' - Archbishop Friar |

Message | Most people think taxes are bad, so should we get rid of them entirely? Of course not. Same thing here, it may appeal to the people at first sight, but I don't believe this would be the most efficient way to put out fires. |

Message | Then if that is what the people want then we can agree, as this atleast does not remove power over the firedepartments from the government to much. |

Message | Though I'm not a big supporter of the current issue, we'll oppose this measure. |

Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
