Message | This bill is Communist. This would take Kazulia in the exact opposite direction it needs to be taken. Let us not be like the tyrranical nations of old under petty dictatorships. Freedom is prosperity, not slavery. |
Date | 21:53:30, March 29, 2013 CET | From | De venstregrønne | To | Debating the Manifesto of the Socialist People's Party |
Message | We strongly oppose legalising prostitution and reducing the minimum wage so we must abstain. |
Date | 01:04:48, March 30, 2013 CET | From | Sosialistisk Folkeparti | To | Debating the Manifesto of the Socialist People's Party |
Message | We are not at all reducing the minimum wage. Read it more thorough: we propose that a worker ought to earn at least enough money for 4 people. Current legislation puts it at 1 person, though with slightly more for that 1 person than for each of the 4 in the proposed version. Despite the latter fact, overall this would be an increase in the minimum wage. |
Date | 01:59:52, March 30, 2013 CET | From | League of Justice | To | Debating the Manifesto of the Socialist People's Party |
Message | We do only support article 4 and partly article 6, but we will however vote no. |

Message | OOC: The way it is phrased is certainly confusing but I'm sure the current minimum wage setting is supposed to be higher than the one you proposed. Currently there is the words "living wage well above the poverty line" while the level you proposed sounds like it provides only enough to be barely above the poverty line. The number of people the current minimum wage is supposed to provide for is unclear but it may well also be for a family of four and not just one person. |
Date | 03:16:07, March 30, 2013 CET | From | Sosialistisk Folkeparti | To | Debating the Manifesto of the Socialist People's Party |
Message | Just barely above the poverty line x4 is a lot more than well over the poverty line x1. The current legislation says "for a full time worker", which means one person. |
