| Message | Our adult age is 16 btw, so I fail to see why an adult should be forced to go to school? |

| Message | That is not a policy of the left. So you are going to leave behind children that may not have the same oppurturnities as others. You cannot deny education is crucial to everything and is the biggest gauge of success. |

| Message | What's not a policy of 'the left'? Are you a parody? |
| Date | 17:03:34, April 11, 2008 CET | From | Coburan Conservative Party | To | Debating the Education age limit |
| Message | That you do not give children from less well off backgrounds a chance of another two years of education. By forcing them they are not getting the easy way out. |

| Message | We have free education. How is that not helping those 'from less well off backgrounds' when it allows them an education in the first place? |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
