Electioneering. A living wage is not a minimum wage. A living wage is a conceptual number. If this becomes the minimum wage the all payrolls will rise, business will fail and inflation will spiral out of control making Bermuda impossible to exist in. International business will move and the PLP will blame everyone but themselves.

Are we to interpret this as they are looking to revise this again??
