Daily review is also your post.
This provides Standardistas the opportunity to review events of the day.

So all protestors need do is ramp up the rabble rousing so he can clamp down on rebel capitalists trying to import foreigners. Such visionary leadership!!
In case that doesn't work, here's his plan B option: Sir Graham Henry. When the maestro is done with whipping the ABs into line, he can whip the Nats into line.
