| Message | We prefer an intermediate stance: "The government encourages the formation of Democratic Workers' Councils through subsidies and tax exemptions". Encouragements, but no requirements. Still, although opposing the proposed change, we oppose the current law slightly more, so will vote in favor. |

| Message | We find this radical, but still better than the current laws, so we will grudgingly support. |
