| Message | We need this bill in order to ensure an educated workforce. Everyone deserves an education, not just the rich. The capitalist parties DO realise that without an education, people cannot improve themselves, nor can they choose which careers to consider, correct? |

| Message | well, if you propose a different approach, we would support you, like the government paying for the education of the poor, but still having a private system. But, I don't expect you to even consider that. |
