| Message | no, another attack to the working class! You propose the same at the time of the insurrection, it's emergency reform. But now, it's smell like fascism |

| 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. |
