| Date | 17:22:50, February 07, 2006 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Education Bill |
| Message | We agree with articles 1, 2 and 3. Article 4 is a little hazy, though. Discipline levels are a very dangerous thing and we are not sure it's a good idea to let the be set by the schools themselves. Nevertheless, it's true that the government, be it central or local, can do as much wrong as the schools. |

| Message | 2 and 3 are too de-regulated. For the state to move forward, it must be marching to the same drummer. When every part of the state decides to do whatever it feels like, then it collapses. |

| Message | I'm a FASCIST party. Fascist= very, very, very centralist. In fact, there isn't very much difference between Communism and Fascism, now that I think about it. Except for that Fascism is more lenient when it comes to the private sector, and that fascists hate communists. Basically, I get it, but I don't agree with it. |
