Bulgaria: Bulgarian Socialists 'Large Retailers' Bid Derided on Twitter File photo of Twitter's logo.

The idea of lawmakers from the ruling Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP, to ban the large retail chains in the country from working on weekend days in order to boost smaller stores has become a laughing stock on Twitter.

There is even a new social network hashtag - #БСПидеи (BSPideas), publishing scores of new proposals created in the lively debate.

The site OFFNews has gathered these comments, ridiculing the idea. Here are some of them, among many:

Let's encourage the emigration of the smartest and the most capable to give equal opportunities to the rest.

Let's close highways on weekends to boost the railroads.

Let's stop all road repairs to boost auto garages' business.

Let's relocate all "internet lumpens" from Sofia to the villages to restore the communist regime cooperative farms.

Let's arrest everyone wearing foreign-manufactured clothes to boost local production.

Let's ban the Championship League on TV to boost the national football tournament.

Let's stop the internet to boost the posts.

Let's cancel subway services on Tuesdays and Thursday to boost taxi cabs.

Let's reinstate scheduled power outages to boost the birth rate.

Let's sell only Bulgarian-produced bananas to boost local farming.

Let's have the Parliament work only on weekends – this might turn their proposals smarter.

Let's have the police cordon the "wrong" stores and use machineguns to direct the population to the "right" ones, owned by the "right" people.

Let's include the shopping malls in the new legislation and ban them from opening on weekends and around major holidays.

Let's ban visiting the beach on weekends to boost swimming pools and reduce road congestion.
