| Message | We'll support this - although we have reservations about article 1. Why shouldn't young people be allowed to take on jobs if they have the time, so long as employers are legally obligated to comply with heavier regulations? |

| Message | This isn't teenagers we're talking about, this is little kids, 6,7,8 year-old kids who are working in factories and delivery services insted of going to school, or generally, being a child. So, we'll split it off so as to aquire the much desired Loony vote =) |

| Message | Well firstly, schooling remains mandatory whatever child labour laws we have - so saying they'll be working when they should be in school is frankly wrong. But how do we know that "child labor" isn't just under-18s or whatever the school leaving age is right now? |
