| Message | There is no moral reasoning behind banning private schools. If you are worried about private schools being so vastly superior to public ones, increase funding in public schools, train teachers to a higher standard. But no, that is to difficult for you socialists isn't it? Better to curtail the rights of your citizens to choose how to educate their children. If you want equality, raise standards for those on the bottom, do not force those on top down to the bottom. Socialism practiced in that way does not bring equality, it brings universal poverty. |

| 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. |
