| Message | We prefer nationalisation to subsidies, as subsidies only pad the pockets of the rich who control the industries whereas nationalisation gives all the benefits to the people. |

| Message | nationalisation is a good idea but it can only go so far as to make us a great nation, we also need some privately owned industry to have a more diverse and effective economy, the people support this view and if you are apparently so committed to helping them then surely you will support this bill |
