| Message | All citizens have a right to vote, but it isn't compulsory. It's a right when you have a choice, it's not a right when you can't choose. |

| Message | CP, the problem here is that it isn't really the children who make the decision whether or not to get an education. It's their parents. Unfortunately, not all parents are smart or caring enough to ensure their kids get an early life education. I urge CP to reconsider its vote. |

| Message | Sometimes real world experience works better than schools for some people. Everyone is different and this just helps as many people as possible to shine. So what if there are a few people who take advantage of their freedoms, that's what they're for. /all you want to do is make a nanny state. I would rather have big brother over nanny any day. |
