| Message | READ FIRST: This may look like a neglecting of schooling, but it is quite the opposite. We feel the recent religious warfare between the NLP and the Unionists has proved that politicians are naturally bias and self-centered. What if the NLP or the Unionists ever had control of the minister of Education and Culture? Would they impose their religion on our youth? Culture is something that the government needs to completely stay out of, and education needs to be more further localized. It's in Solentia's best interest to maintain our history of the separation of church and state. This calls for a slight defund in culture. Also,we are in a deficit, and this fixes the deficit. It kills two birds with one stone. |

| Message | "Basically, a slight defund in culture will stop parties from indoctrinating children in religion or indoctrinating them in the absence of religion." ~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS |

| 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. |
