| Message | We see problems with Articles 2 and 7, as we see that they interfere with personal liberties. What does the Rassemblement argue for this, Mr. l´Orateur? |
| Date | 12:17:50, September 02, 2018 CET | From | Parti Travail 🌹 | To | Debating the RD-1: Economic Nationalisation Act 4448 |
| Message | At the present moment RD party policy seeks to reflect the will of the people in this issue combined with concerns surrounding the economic conditions present in Kanjor. State involvement, although it lessens personal liberties to a certain extent, when carried out effectively can lessen economic downturns and ensure continued prosperity for our people. Hence in such circumstances allowing the state to influence the Central Bank is a positive step in the right direction. As for housing rents, housing is an important necessity for the people of Kanjor, and the ability for the most poorest individuals in society to have a household is paramount to the aims of a successful government. |

| Message | We could reconsider it. Please give us some more time to think about it, Mr. l'orateur Christa Hébert, Leader of the House |
