| Message | If the proposed policy change in Article 1 is seen as too expensive, we are willing to accept the less expensive alternative in Article 1, which reads as follows, 'The government subsidises tuition only for students from families classified as low-income or poor'. |
| Date | 19:03:46, December 10, 2015 CET | From | Fatherland Republic | To | Debating the Higher Education Tuition and Pre-School Education Proposal |
| Message | The government should not be paying full tuition for anyone who wants a higher education. Subsidizes are for those who can not afford the costs, there is no need in giving an unfair advantage to the "lower class". |
| Date | 03:52:58, December 11, 2015 CET | From | Social Democrats | To | Debating the Higher Education Tuition and Pre-School Education Proposal |
| Message | Fair enough. However would the Fatherland Republic be in favour of the proposed policy change in Article 2? |
| Date | 04:02:07, December 11, 2015 CET | From | Fatherland Republic | To | Debating the Higher Education Tuition and Pre-School Education Proposal |
| Message | We prefer the current policy over what is proposed. The people will have a choice of using public or private establishments. |
