| Message | A child working is fine, as long as it is their own choice and they do what they want. They should get payed a sufficient wage and work hours that will not overwork them, or do hard manual labour. I am guessing you have not made these "regulations". I will most probably vote no when/if this this goes to vote. |

| Message | Acording to the law regarding the education system: Education is entirely public and free So famillies CAN afford to send their children to school in any province and it is pretty hard not to. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
