| Message | There are some industries that do need to be nationalized. For instance, housing, water, power, sewage, roads. Basic infastructure stuff. This is a good bill. |

| Message | No services need to be nationalised - competition can and does improve services and drive down prices provided proper oversight is applied. However, we do agree that certain services and industries such as water and power etc. do need to be protected to ensure their continuity should they fail and so we can support providing subsidies to these industries or maybe even the current law provided that the nationalisation of failing industries was only temporary |

| Message | This is a national security issue. Our essential industries must be run with complete government oversight. |

| Message | Ya, that's got to be fixed since she doesn't exist. And we like our leftist royalist friends. Now that you've backstabbed us, we'll be looking to them for friendship next term. |
