| Message | You have succeeded in bring the thousands of workers to the streets and the unions will be voting on a strike by morning. When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run, There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun; Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one But the union makes us strong! |

| Message | A strike will just make it even more clearer how bad socialism and trade union dictatorship is for the country. Its not like a strike would have any economic impact anyway considering we barely have an economy at all.. |

| Message | "trade union dictatorship"; your party's hatred of the working class has gone from slight to obvious! For the third time; trade unions are completely run by workers. To strike, the union has to have an overall majority in favour. There was no need for strikes and industrial action until your party and it's neoliberal-conservative-fascistic bravos came in and started trying to sell it off to your crony pals! Well we do have an economy, but not that your injection of material greed and economic totalitarianism will do anything to stimulate it. |

| Message | Life it about brotherhood and potential. Not about spreadsheets and consumption. What your party and it's supporters need is less concern for material gain, and more good old fashioned Ikradonian altruism. |

| Message | No, trade unions are run by elite trade union leaders. We're not fascist, you guys are the ones who have admired fascism. 'totalitarianism'? No. Libertarianism. OOC: "I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left." - Margaret Thatcher Please don't swear or try to insult me personally. You've already accused me of being fascist, now you're personally attacking me. |

| Message | OOC: If anything you're the ones that 'god-mode' everything. One small party has declared a general strike, that's not really realistic when a lot of people voted for non-socialist parties. |

| Message | "Trade unions are run by elite trade union leader" Erm, no, they really aren't. Trade unions are run by councils elected by their members. End of. Methinks that you're obviously not apart of a union then. Good luck with that. |
