| Message | The DSP only agrees with article 2, and only because homeschooling can not be regulated meet the educational standards of the nation. |

| Message | PRP must agree with our esteemed colleagues from the DSP with regards to this bill. It goes too far and in the wrong directions. Corporal punishment is not acceptable, singing an anthem ad nauseum does nothing to instill patriotism in students, and eliminating charter schools deprives parents of what few choices there are in education. We believe that the PSFF should begin to take a moment to allow debate on their proposals before sending them to vote, so that all parties can reach a mutual understanding and agreement rather than simply defeating a bill with potential hidden beneath problems. |

| Message | "PSFF should begin to take a moment to allow debate on their proposals before sending them to vote, so that all parties can reach a mutual understanding and agreement rather than simply defeating a bill with potential hidden beneath problems." by Plato's. OOC: I think there is no reason to debate here. I am way too extreme party for any of you to agree with in almost any bills I put forwards. If I was playing with "normal" party, be it rightist or leftist, I wouldn't vote "yes" on any of my bills. I am quite well aware that close to none of my bills will make it through but hey, I think I am allowed to promote my far-right ideals actively at the beginning of my party's life, otherwise very few citizens even know about my existance. When I gain more visibility, I will naturally put forwards fewer and maybe a bit more reasonable bills, still not leaving my fascist ideals. |

| Message | OOC: That particular statement was rather intended to be IC, as you really haven't let any time for debate. The fact remains, though, that if it weren't for one or two points, I would agree with many of your bills. It's not like I enjoy constantly trying to shut you down. I want to agree with you, but you and your crazy neo-nazi fascists sure don't make it easy! |

| Message | The SCP finds all but the second proposal most abhorrent. |
