| Message | Well we agree with all articles, excepting maybe article 4, but then we can always try to undo that later I suppose. |
| Date | 17:55:45, November 25, 2005 CET | From | Socio-Democratic Union | To | Debating the Health Care and Education Act |
| Message | We agree with most of that proposal, execpt for the idea of totally disbanding private education. If the SDU believes a wide network of public education is needed, private schools shouldn't be forbidden. The same for privater clinics. We support a fair middle ground. |
