Message | I think there would be advantages to allowing for-profit schools. The administration will be more likely to make wiser financial decisions because it will affect the bottom line. In a non-profit the administration may not be so careful with the finances, because it's not THEIR money, after all. |

Message | PRIVATELY RUN SCHOOLS!? HOW CAN SUCH A THING EXIST!? How will the state get to influence the young masses if there are any schools without our direct, burning influence!? These private schools do two things: support private property and become breeding growns for free thinkers! Do we want that!? NO! |

Message | Maybe they will make wiser financial decisions, but that will be all they care about, as with any business profit is the main aim, screw the kids...that didn't sound right. |

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. |
