Message | industries should not be run by one man who doesn't know anything about the workplace. Employees themselve should decide what is best for the company. some businesses are not suitable to be runned by a DWC, so they are excluded from this regulation |
Date | 16:11:15, February 27, 2006 CET | From | Conservative People's Party | To | Debating the Democracy in companies |
Message | The CPP strongly opposes this proposition. We do not believe that the government should decide how private companies are run. If a man own a company, he ought to be able to run it as he sees fit (as long as he doesn't break Lodamun legislature, of course). We see this proposal as a marxist attack on commercial freedom. |

Date | 01:43:08, February 28, 2006 CET | From | Social Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Democracy in companies |
Message | Not of social capitalism. It is not necessary for some fat cat to control a company for it to be successful. |
Date | 18:08:39, February 28, 2006 CET | From | Conservative People's Party | To | Debating the Democracy in companies |
Message | No, but if he owns the company, it's his right. It's the owner's private property and he should be able to do with it as he sees fit. The government doesn't decide what plants people are to have in their gardens either. |
