Minimum wage for all citizens
Pay the minimum wage to all citizens 18 years old and over.
Why is this important?
In a democracy it is understood as a basic and foundational principle that every citizen should be treated with the same fairness and equality and held responsible under law for their actions.Every 18 year old citizen should be payed the same Minimum wage as any 21 year old citizen.
Historically the right to no taxation without representation was won and achieved by British democracy. It follows that every citizen should be under the same law and rule. This is patently not so when under 21 year old citizens are treated unfairly by being paid a lower rate of pay. This discrimination goes against the established principle of fairness and equality for all citizens in a democratic society. A democratic society when it fails to treat it's citizens is failing in its duty to uphold democratic principles. It is important that Parliament upholds this basic right.
