Ponsonby Press: Anti-Wage Lobby Defeated!

The Ponsonby Press is the official periodical newsprint of the Popular Republican Movement
==Rest In Pieces, Anti-Wage Lobby==
The 575AER federal election featured three political parties which campaigned on gutting the minimum wage. Now, with the news of Michael Bloomberg's victory in the Moderate Party, the last of these three parties has abandoned that policy. This end of the Solomon-era Moderate Party's anti-wage agenda came after a similar move by the Falleentium Conservative and Reform Party, whose members voted in new leadership who jettisoned the FCRP's anti-wage policies and rebranded the party altogether as the Coalition of Conservative Unionists to distance itself from such policies. And of course, there is the example of the United Left Coalition. The ULC is nominally a union of all leftist ideologies, yet it somehow managed to reconcile that with a plan to cut wages by more than even the FCRP wanted. ULC leader Garzon quickly ditched that policy as well after the election dealt his party a disappointing ninth place out of ten political parties.
This is certainly a time for celebration. The Popular Republican Movement was founded just five short years ago and has defended the minimum wage in two federal elections and two governments with the help of parties on both the left and center-right. It was a chilling reflection on the politics of this year when these three major parties campaigned on a lowered minimum wage, but now it seems that, after the top three parties were all in favor of protecting the minimum wage, a consensus has emerged in Corrintrin that people who work full-time deserve to be payed enough to survive on without needing to rely on federal welfare. Rest easy, Falleentium - politicians aren't coming for your wages anymore.
