| Message | We beg the SLP not to vote yes, as DMCs now run most major industries, banning them could and will probobly couse an economic crisis. |
| Date | 12:34:59, October 08, 2017 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the The Economic Fredoom and Job Creation Act of 4283. |
| Message | We have maked the decision to vote yes on this, as the liberalization of economy is paramount for us. The crisis caused by the banning of DWCs would be avoided by the passing of the Business Type Liberalization of 4283 (real), as it would leave the ban on DWCs on this bill without effect. http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=539870 |
