Beyond its relative novelty, the merits of the [[Model Economy]] were also heavily debated over the course of the election campaign. Solidarity members and spokesmen continually touted the program, particularly with advertisements aimed at traditionally left-voting constituencies. The program, not as relevant in suburban and exurban communities, received constant attention on talk shows and in commercials in big city areas, including and especially the valualbe [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]]-area districts. Overall, among working-class Urceans, the program polled well, with 62% of self-descibed "working class" or "blue collar" Urceans supporting the program as of 1 June 2030, a figure that increased slightly to 64% in election day exit polling. The National Pact derided the program in middle and upper middle class demographics and in the suburbs and exurbs, stating that it amounted to the "slow creep of [[Ardmore|Ardmori]] famine creeping into our society" in the words of Pact delegate Cormac Widdle. The Social Labor Party derided the policy as a "cooption", while members of the Working Families Party were generally in favor of it. Overall, the Pact failed to develop the policy as a wedge issue among its base, with only 30% of Pact voters on election day saying they were "very" or "somewhat" concerned about the ideological implications of the Model Economy, while 82% of registered Solidarity voters at the polls expressed support for the policy. | |||
