| Message | Shouldn't a Communist Party be far-left and therefore be the most likely to support a rise in the minimum wage? We find the PCC's argument most bizarre. Higher wages for the poor will have scores of beneficial impacts. Why do the Communists feel that it would "possibly wreck [sic] havoc on our economy"? Why do they side with a self-described "far-right" organisation? |

| Message | While minimum wage jobs are mainly based on developing experience, the PS-D has raised a fair and just point. Internal discussion within our party led to an original "slow ease-in" agreement, however we have decided to change our vote in favour of. |
