| Date | 17:59:36, November 02, 2005 CET | From |  RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Act Abolishing the Child Credit |
| Message | Strongly opposed, it is only common sense that we ensure to all children, rich or poor, a decent education and ensure that they are raised properly. |

| Message | RSDP. Stop claiming to have common sense or that your beliefs are common sense |Your statement is silly, they already are ensured a decent education through vouchers. Raised properly is a very subjective term, one often used by conservatives. |

| Message | Raised properly means being able to buy enough food. With low unemployment payments and minimum wages, we can't expect poor people to be able to pay everything a child needs, now can we? |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
