| Message | Rt Hon Duke Richards MP, HNP Leader, Mr Speaker, this Bill shall see the Hutorian education system become equal for all. The only area of inequality would be the educational segregation and we are prepared to allow this policy to continue. This should not change the fact however that this education system needs to be reformed. Hutoris education system was a great one under HNP/Labour and we should re-introduce the system that worked so well unlike the current money dominated system where the wealthy attend expensive upper class schools which regular working class Hutorians cannot even dream of attending. Mr Speaker, we know of Labours desire for equal opportunities and we share some of this ideal. This Bill would be a welcome reform to the people of Hutori. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, perhaps the government could inform the House of their views on this Act? We would like to know their position and wether or nor they will vote in favour of the Bill. |

| Message | This proposal is clearly socialism in disguise and should be opposed by all intelligent parties. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, the new HSP would do well to realise that both the Hutori National Party and Labour Party ARE both Socialist parties. As for his comment regarding intelligence? Well...what can we say other than we shall see how clever they are whenever they start adressing the House in the future. |
