Message | Absolutely not. |
Date | 15:28:37, December 15, 2018 CET | From | Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK) | To | Debating the Laissez-Faire Economic Stimulus Bill |
Message | We will oppose this bill. Every proposal is aimed at handing the economy to the capitalists. We have JUST changed several of these positions back from the last time a anti-poor majority "graced" Kalistan with their terrible governance. And now the latest iteration of the "Lets hand the entire economy to profiteers Party" proposes to undo the things we did. We will stand in opposition to all of this, but as the grand old Party of Kalistan, we assure the Liberals that if these proposals should somehow pass this Assembly, we'll be around to see the damage undone, yet again, at some point in the near future. |
Date | 15:48:36, December 15, 2018 CET | From | Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK) | To | Debating the Laissez-Faire Economic Stimulus Bill |
Message | This bill would end nationalized industry, which has a role in nearly 2/3rds of Kalistan's economy. The private sector thrives based on public sector activity. A passage of this bill is a passage of ideologically motivated incompetence. |
Date | 17:45:55, December 16, 2018 CET | From | National Conservative Party | To | Debating the Laissez-Faire Economic Stimulus Bill |
Message | Again, unless a plan is made which ensures that these industries are safely sold to private companies rather than immediately shutting down the industry and hoping that new companies just magically appear, we have to oppose. |
Date | 17:54:29, December 16, 2018 CET | From | Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) | To | Debating the Laissez-Faire Economic Stimulus Bill |
Message | We call upon our new coalition partners to agree to this proposal and then have our complete support to ensure the safe transmission of these industries to private |
