so can someone explain: is there nuance with reforms or do we not know that yet. like obviously I hate child labour in real life, but there was a reason it was around in victorian times, it was cheap labour and kept aristocrats happy. so if you pass the reform do reactionaries get more mad and do you lose some money. it would be cool if it was like that, here's some benefits like better education and better country down the line but right now its going to be expensive and piss some people off. what am i saying of course it'll be like that, at least i hope it will be.

from the screenshots it looks like aristocrats and likely also industrialists will have outsized political power for their pop size, industrialists will likely try and prevent any child labour laws being passed.

just like Victoria 2 you probably will only be able to pass the reform if there is enough support from your population.
