| Message | Mr Speaker, for the moment we believe that the private sector is doing a good job of providing pre-school education. |

| Message | But why? This implies that early childhood education is not necessary for a child's intellectual development when all research points to the opposite. We already subsidize it; why not afford it the same importance as traditional education? |

| Message | Mr Speaker, it does not imply that early education is not important. On the other hand, it implies that the private sector is best able to deliver such education. This is where the republicans slip up, by equating importance with the activities of the state. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
