| Message | You would have us become an ignorant mass of sheep ready to sway and bay at the first dictator to get his or her hands on a speaker system! WHIP opposes this change. Education is vital to our people, higher education even more so. It is what separates us from the inanimate. It is what makes us reach for the Divine. -- Her Highness Ialia d'Erridu, Protector of Wessex, House of Belknap The Ministry of Education and Culture opposes this change. -- Michelangelo Cavalieri, Chancellor of Education and Cutlure |

| Message | On the contrary! A private higher education system will allow the free market to do what it does best; create competition. It is through competition and active encouragement of free trade that we can develop the best system of higher education in the world. Our universities and colleges need to be free of the tyrannical grip of local and national government to act freely; it is through this freedom that they will thrive. Education and knowledge comes from freedom. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
