| Message | Regulation, regulation, regulation. Let private schools regulate themselves. This bill is simply regulation for the sake of regulation. The TCP believes that the LLP should see the logic in letting the private sector fend for themselves, without being regulated every step of the way by an unnessicarily interventionist government. |

| Message | Perhaps we can say what would happen if there would be no regulation. A nazi supporter could have started his own school and teach new nazi supporters. By all means, we must let them, isn't that right, TCP? |

| Message | The TCP does not, on the contrary to what the SD have suggested, support an education system without regulation at all. Having said that, the entire concept of a private education system is that it is not overly regulated by the government. Of course, there will be very basic expectations that every school will adhere to a set of simple rules set by the government, such as core subjects taught that children have to take as a requirement of the state, but so called government 'regulation' absolutely defeats the purpose of a private system to begin with. The TCP is not opposed to small regulations, such as rules regarding core subjects, etc, but monetarily, the education system should be free from the shackles of government regulations. Furthermore, in response to the SD's claim that "a nazi supporter could have...teach new nazi supporters", the TCP would like to illuminate to the SD the fact that the party dispises Hitler and his opressive, dictatorship regime, aswell as his rediculous, insane ideals. If nazis or neo nazis ever opened a school in Aldegar, the TCP would be the party campaigning to arrest every single one of them - the SD would most likely defend their right to preach nazi rubbish, in the name of free speech and freedom of association, which the TCP does not even nessicarily believe in! There is a vast, vast difference between unnessicary government regulation of a school, and freedom of speech and association. |

| Message | On second thoughts, the TCP has decided to give their support to this proposal, assuming that the regulation of higher education is simply to enforce a set of rules by which the teachers and schools may abide, for the sake of improving the standard of education taught in these institutions, and that the government will not enforce any monetary regulations on the private schools. |

| Message | We are happy that the TCP saw reason. |
| Date | 19:31:21, March 15, 2007 CET | From | Left Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Regulation of Higher Education |
| Message | That is indeed the intention of the bill, TCP. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
