| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is absurd, we must have an educated public in order to compete with other nations. Shall we have a nation of non-educated citizens who can only perform simplistic tasks? Yield |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Some parties appear to have a problem telling the difference between a bill that is against higher education and one that is against government involvement in higher education. Maybe if they had benefitted from private education themselves, they would not be so confused? I yield the floor. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, This bill would only damage the already fragile balance of the academic world, and my own field in particular - Al'Badarology, which ahs so much to tell us of our past. I yield the floor. Marcus Scarman, PhD |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
