Procedure Positioning · 60 words They are fed up with the empty promises they keep hearing from this government, which takes their tax dollars, spends it on all kinds of ideological projects and leaves them with less in their pockets. The Liberals then tell them not to worry, because they are going to get a bit of money back, to make things a little easier. Positioning Claims · 16 words Clearly, people are struggling to make ends meet , so they are going to take the cheque. Reasoning · 13 words In any case, it is basically their own money being returned to them. Positioning · 7 words Can members guess what people really want? Positioning Claims · 34 words They want to keep their money in their pockets. They want to be able to make it through the month, paying for groceries, gas and their mortgage or rent. That is what they want. Off point
