| Message | We firmly belive that education needs to be better controlled than it currently is. All of our students need to be gaining the same opportunities and following the same set standards. That is why we propose we move private universites into following nationally set educational standards, which we have worked at for such a long time to make sure they are right and suit everyone. Pauline Richardson, Labour Shadow Education and Culture Minister |

| Message | The MCM can see no reasonable objection to this bill and will thus support it. - Marc Legumes; Education Minister of Solentia. |

| Message | We thank the MCM and the Education Minister for their backing and approval and urge all others to follow suit. Afterall, the national set standards cannot apply to some students but not others everyone needs to follow the same set of standards otherwise equality may as well fail. We have standards in place WE MUST follow them, and that is ALL students, in WHATEVER system they are in. Pauline Richardson, Labour Shadow Education and Culture Minister |

| Message | The Conservative's strongly feel that this legislation is not in the best interests of higher education children. If Privatly-run education colleges and facilities are monitered and so strictly regulated by the government, they will not be able to spend as much time TEACHING their students as they will be far too preoccupied making sure that they meet this government's standards. It would be much more benneficial to relax governmental control on private schools and allow for actual education to take place. -Sir Thomas Hill of the New Conservatives. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
