| Message | Unfortunately we have to disagree with the Tories here. Minimum legislation drives small businesses to sack to poorest workers and leads to a standardisation of lower working class incomes. They become "minimum wage workers", an underclass. |

| Message | Everyone has the right already to quit a bad job, and get a better job. If employers pay too little, they lose good workers. Your right to a good life does not give you a right to break into my house and steal my hard-earned money! |
