| Message | We are open to monopolies in some forms, but not unregulated. |
| Date | 20:15:42, October 02, 2017 CET | From | Democratic Technocracy Directive | To | Debating the The Economic Freedom Act of 4280 |
| Message | By removing the freedom of trade unions, other known as labor union, it will harm the economy by forcing citizens to work in conditions that they themselves will not control which will lead to a loss of productivity and furthermore harm the workplace that would benefit from having such unions. If monopolies become common place a single corporation will have sole power over a given industry leading to inflating prices far above the common currency, not only will this harm the consumer economy allowing monopolies take place will force small time establishments out of the market. For theses reasons the People's Democratic Party cannot allow such a bill to take place for it will harm the economy more than it can ever help it. |

| Message | This bill is all wrong. This is not even enlargening the economic pie. This is as inefficient as communism, in a sense that only a few benefit while most are left with almost nothing. Monopolies must remain forbidden for the good of the free market, and trade unions must be allowed as a legitimate form of association (that's a right for us all!) |
