| Message | The SEP would support Articles 3 (Corporate Tax) and 4 (Negotiable Work Hours). We do not support Articles 1 (Campaign Funding) or 5 (Phone subsidization). We also disagree with Article 2 (Closed shops, etc) as we believe all shops should be open, without forcing people into unions or paying a waiver fee. Emma Dickson, SEP Leader. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
