| Message | One of our main goals and our main successes, has been and will continue to be, the privatization of key services not just to reduce the burden on the taxpayer, but to provide efficent services. We can only do that if we put power back into the hands of those who understand the service they are running, and if private hospitals and schools compete against each other to provide the best customer service/satisfaction and so successful hospitals and schools can rise to the top and be very successful whilst failing services fall to the bottom, shut down and stop draining tax payers money. Is it fair for us to continue to pay for failing schools and hospitals? Is it fair that people who are more financially secure have to continue to pay for the school and hospital fees of the worse off who cannot be bothered to earn more money or train to get better qualifications? If you waste your education, mess your life up and get a bad job, don't come running to the state for help, because the state should not be there to help and clean up after the mess people make.

| Message | Also on the issue of National Health, why should only low income people recieve help? What about middle income families who are constantly hit by tax? What about middle income families who have more children to pay for? You either have fully private or fully public. As fully public doesn't work and hasn't worked in Solentia or most countries for some time now, it is clear we need to go the full way and privatize. Sylvia O Hara Conservative Leader |

| Message | The SDLP is extremely concerned as to the direction our nation is taking. How is it moral to completely disregard the welfare of Solentians who may not be capable of funding their own healthcare. Is it moral to allow people who may be mentally or physically incapable of earning the money to pay for their healthcare to simply die? Is it moral to provide education to those who can only afford it, with those too poor to pay having no opportunity to improve their skills and therefore either remain destitute or turn to crime? The SDLP can now see why the Conservative Party supports school prayers, because if these laws are passed the only "solution" to the problems faced by Solentians will be to pray to the supposed almighty. Walton Laboissonnier Leader of the SDLP in the Senate |

| Message | In debates of this nature, it seems the only option is to side with one side or another. I am sick in Solentia, of seeing the hard working middle classes penalised, taxed through the roof, so that lazy people can sit and claim benefits or so lazy people can have everything paid for them. Health and Education have worked much better when running in competition with similar facilities and with private funding. Taxes are less and besides there are insurance schemes in the private sector for poor people to turn too. Sylvia O Hara Conservative Leader |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
