Editing The Economics of Love (section)

==Plot==
The opening credits feature a rally by the leader of the Communist Party, [[Mateo Villanueva]] (Gomez), four months before the overthrow of the Lauchenoirian government. After Villanueva's speech ends, the camera follows a young man, Rowan Duncan (Jamieson), holding a communist flag as he walks across the street and enters the Communist Party headquarters. He is informed that he needs to accompany Villanueva to a meeting at parliament.

They travel to the parliament and attend a meeting where the Lauchenoirian government offers concessions to the communists in a closed door meeting, but Villanueva refuses and storms out. In the corridor outside the meeting, Duncan drops a pile of paperwork which is picked up by an MP from the majority Liberal Party, Josephine Gardiner (Peters). They introduce themselves and then, as a government minister approaches suddenly part ways. Gardiner later draws a note from her pocket inviting her to meet in secret.

They meet a few days later and begin by discussing the political issues in a cafe just outside the city limits of [[Buttercity]]. Their relationship quickly progresses and they kiss as they leave. Over the next few months they continue to meet in secret every week. During a parliamentary recess, the two sneak away together and spend time on a small island halfway between the mainland and the island of [[Aeluria]].

Meanwhile, the Communists are gaining support, and the Lauchenoirian government is clamping down on free speech in an effort to try and decrease the attention they are getting. Gardiner speaks in parliament against the new draconian measures and is expelled from her party. Meanwhile Duncan is involved in communist meetings where greater and greater numbers of people are calling for violent action to be taken against the government.

The communists hold a rally outside parliament, where Villanueva calls for their supporters to rise up and storm the parliament building. Duncan panics and tries to get inside the building to find Gardiner but he cannot get through the crowd. Bullets are fired by both sides and eventually the doors of the parliament are broken and the communists storm the building. Duncan searches through room by room, and eventually finds Gardiner, who has been shot and is dying on the floor. He holds her but she tells him to leave, angry at the violent overthrow of the government she believes Duncan was involved in.
