| Message | Even though the proposal has already been accepted we will state that we will vote against it. Child labour isn't a bad thing per se (it enables teenagers to get part-time jobs, and also think about teenage children to help their father in a farm), but unregulated child labour is. The previous government regulated it (which was not typical behaviour for Right is Right). The second proposal is acceptable to us. Unfortunately, we must vote against the bill. |

| Message | Why should business owners be forced to hand power over to their workers, who do not necessarily know how to run a business. It should be up to the individual businesses as to whether they think a DWC is best for them. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
| Random quote: "If democracy is ever to be threatened, it will not be by revolutionary groups burning government offices and occupying the broadcasting and newspaper offices of the world. It will come from disenchantment, cynicism and despair caused by the realization that the New World Order means we are all to be managed and not represented." - Tony Benn |
