| Message | I once again say that this is too high, even for me. DAP has given me numbers that show that the current standard of living is alright, which i will post on the nation board. If it is true it is due to unions, and so i advise any of you voting against unions and or strike action to reconsider your vote if you care about your people at all. And to DAP specifically: You gave me the information and I will share it now, but perhaps in the future it would be better to make your statistics public immediately, instead of saying "NO ITS WRONG". I myself did not know where to find most of said statistics, and I may be wrong but I'd guess not everyone else knows where to find it either. Giving the information and where to find it would greatly strengthen your argument, and perhaps sway more votes to your side. As things are you're likely to turn people away as they seem arrogant by stating how bad the policy is and then not showing why exactly it is bad or needs change. Here you do give the facts, but some may not know where to find it. |
