| Message | Mr Speaker, We disagree with some articles on economy so we will down vote it. We cannot allow infringement on the freedom of the labor unions. The workers have rights and their needs must be regarded as well when passing pieces of legislation. Up voting this would be throwing workers out of the factories without valid reasons and slow down the progresses the workers achieved. We believe other reforms presented to us are agreeable, we must deny though the passing of a bill that seeks to destroy labor unions' integrity in the name of the capital.

| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
