| Message | 1) Articles 3 and 6 are too expensive. 2) I do not agree with banning the private sector in education. If those who can afford it are able to get educated privately, then they are less of a drain on the state. This is nothing to do with "class", it's just to do with reducing government spending and encouraging richer people to avoid using free services provided by the state. |
