| Message | This is a step in the right direction that we would vote for, but FRUIT's bill is ideal to take it a better extent. Why do this when you can do that? |

| Message | We support this alternative: "The government subsidizes higher education tuition to a certain amount, the rest is covered by the individual students. This includes scholarship programs." The "old value" and the "proposed" are both arguable, but not good enough for us. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
