| Message | "Positive discrimination" means preferentrial hiring for women and minorities, aka affiramtive action. We say: if a company wants to give preference to minorities, or to women, or to Muslims, the state should not ban them from doing so. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
