| Message | Basically we think that being unemployed is far worse than being underpaid. That is our reason for getting rid of minimum wage. And if Unions are to be democratic they should rely on the vote of a majority of workers not a majority of the voters present to vote. |

| Message | 1. That is true 2. We would agree, but in order to be elected, you dont need a majority of all voters, only a pluraity of all those that voted. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
