| Message | This is simply asking too much of the employers both public and private. We could support a raise well above the poverty line, but not this. This will cripple our competition level and bleed dry company coffers. |

| Message | Well, i guess its bleed dry company coffers, or bleed dry the children of parents who are on our current mimimum wage. We should have pride in our nation because we are treating our citizens in a civil way, because of the quality of life of our nationals, not because we are above other nations in competitions. Its a choice between the greed of capitalism and the equality of socialism. A choice needs to be made between our citizens NEED (not want, but actual need) and how we look compared to others. Other parties, I urge you in the right direction. |

| Message | This is not a choice between the greed of capitalism and the equality of socialism, but between orderly and just freedom and the greed and laziness of the lower classes, which set their eyes on the justly earned goods of their betters. |

| Message | "Lower classes? I beg your pardon? Lourenne offers equal chances to all, there are no lower classes, but in the same time it does not encourage waste of time and money. " |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
