| Date | 00:56:02, April 04, 2006 CET | From |  Jelbék Zemojad Lofrkad Prta | To | Debating the Deregulation of Post |
| Message | The Democratic Labour Party believes the current system is sufficient. The problem with this bill is that it may, unintentionally, destroy the public post system. The public post system provides a good and fairly priced service to the citizens of Jelbania and does not need to be undermined by unregulated private courier companies. However, the DLP will await the Conservative Party's argument in favour. |

| Message | You forget that unregulated companies are not TRULY unregulated. Who regulates them, you ask??? THE PEOPLE! Remember? That collection of human beings within the country? They are not stupid (I am a liiiiittle tired of saying this)!!! If they are unhappy, they do not buy. The government is not needed to intervene in places that do not need it. Furthermore, some will prefer the public system. Some will not, for various reasons. If people do not like it, it will die not because it was "undermined" by private idnustry, but because the PEOPLE do like prefer it. Why do you not see that? |

| Message | The DLP is not incapable of understanding the conservative argument. It does not AGREE with the Conservative Party's argument. The government should ensure a fairly priced, well run public post system for all. |

| Message | And it still will. Private companies will just come up. And you do not agree that people are not stupid???? You think they are...... Interesting. So, you think you, the government, should control the people because they are not capable???? It sounds like you have a huge superiority complex. People with overly large heads like you should just not be in government. Also, people do not like being called stupid. |

| Message | No one in this forum ever called the Jelbanian stupid. Don't make false accusations. Everyone here wants a civil debate. Despite the rudeness of the Conservatives, we support this bill. Regulation is unnecessary. |
| Date | 10:51:22, April 04, 2006 CET | From | Jelbék Zemojad Lofrkad Prta | To | Debating the Deregulation of Post |
| Message | The DLP does not believe regulation is unnecessary. It is definitely necessary in order to keep the country fair. |
| Date | 00:49:34, April 05, 2006 CET | From | Free Conservative Party | To | Debating the Deregulation of Post |
| Message | Why is that, DLP? Some Unnamed Country is the world has few regulations and there are 8% more millionares there than last year. Some regulation is needed, but for the most part, it IS unnecessary. C's P, noone said that, persay, but I said they were not and DLP does not agree. |
| Date | 04:52:54, April 05, 2006 CET | From | Centrist Democratic Party | To | Debating the Deregulation of Post |
| Message | We have to agree with the DLP that regulation is a necessity. We are handing a government job to private companies, the people would expect the same quality of service. The effeciency of this service is, of course, left up to the private company, but standards should remain the same. This does not necessarily mean we will be telling the company how to do what they do, but it will maintain a certain amount of respect for the consumer as well as the employer. |
| Date | 12:20:46, April 05, 2006 CET | From | Jelbék Zemojad Lofrkad Prta | To | Debating the Deregulation of Post |
| Message | The DLP would prefer that, rather than an additional 8%of the Free Republic of Jelbania's 73,429,715 become millionaires, the 90% of the Republic's population become richer instead. However, this is aside the point. The CDP makes a good point. |
| Date | 20:08:22, April 05, 2006 CET | From | Free Conservative Party | To | Debating the Deregulation of Post |
| Message | CDP, we are not handing over a government job, but letting people CHOSE wether to use it. That IS democracy. |
| Date | 20:10:29, April 05, 2006 CET | From | Free Conservative Party | To | Debating the Deregulation of Post |
| Message | DLP, you are the DEMOCRATIC Labor Party, are you not??? |
| Date | 01:07:50, April 07, 2006 CET | From | Centrist Democratic Party | To | Debating the Deregulation of Post |
| Message | We know what democracy is, and we are sure that the DLP is aware of what democracy is as well. Democracy is not simply a right to choose everything, that is a discussion that enters a debate over the market structure. What your bill details is basically changing what we already have except laxing the regulations on private companies. While we are for private industry, this IS a government job (that being the national postal service) and as such the companies should abide by regulations required by law in federal organizations. You say that you are allowing people the choice on whether to use it or not. If someone needs to mail a package they may have different choices - no one is arguing against that - but what the regulations imply is that one company cannot commit illegal actions or intrude upon the customer. In this way, the citizen is protected by the government from mishandling by the private postal office. |

| Message | There will still be a regulated nationalized post office. I see no problem in allowing unregulated private ones to exist as well. |
