| Message | We favor articles 2 and 3, and are sympathetic toward 1, but believe that many decisions should be left to local governments to decide. Big government is the epitome of all evil. |
| Date | 21:30:34, February 24, 2007 CET | From | Union of Public Employees | To | Debating the Education Reform Act |
| Message | Practical testing? Ha! We support 1 and 2. |
| Date | 23:37:46, May 22, 2007 CET | From |  Democratic Party of Dorvik | To | Debating the Education Reform Act |
| Message | We could support article 1 but oppose article 2 as we believe that the education institutions must offer all-round knowledge & readiness for later life instead of changing it to favour vocational skills. We oppose this bill. |
| Date | 12:35:34, May 23, 2007 CET | From | Democratic Party of Dorvik | To | Debating the Education Reform Act |
| Message | Reformed article 1 reflects our exact thoughts, fully subsidied tuition gives fair and equal chances for all to succeed in their lives. We still oppose article 2 though but article 1 is strong enough to override this. We approve this bill. |
