| Message | Mr. Speaker, This bill does NOT "socialize" radio stations but just allows the government to own ONE for educational purposes to give viewers a CHOICE. If viewers don't wish to watch the government station, they can ALWAYS change the channel. --CWFP Spokesman OOC: I GREW UP watching "Sesame Street," "Reading Rainbow," and "Bill Nye The Science Guy" on PBS (LMAO)!!! ;) |

| 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. |
