| Message | We feel that the proposed legislation is very vague and therefore can not support. We are in favour of the legislation which allows private ownership of minor industries whilst all major ones are owned by the state. |

| Message | GPP: It is the choice of the proposing party when a bill goes to vote. Please understand that 6 months is only the minimum time in debate. Please don't issue us with orders. Green Manalishi, would it help if we specified that all industries essential to the state be owned by the state? The 'certain' industries? |

| Message | Though not an end in itself, we acknowledge this proposal as being a move in the right direction, therefore we support. |

| Message | (ooc) DLP: Sorry, didn't mean to sound like I was issuing orders; I actually wrote that comment on my smartphone so pardon my terseness. That aside, I just wanted you to move it to vote so it would increase the "abstaining" penalty for our now inactive parties, hope that makes sense. |
