Status[?]: passed

Voting deadline: January 4184
Description[?]:
Senators, The only way to adequately bring quality services and freedom of choice to all students and not refer those who cannot pay for a private education to substandard private establishments, is to hand over the education sector to competing private entrepreneurs. Those who fail to deliver will be rejected and thus will be 'liberated' from our tax money. Relaxing Curriculum enforcement will also make it possible for all of our country's different ethnic communities to be served education services that suits their own particular way of life. Lucceia Felix Virnius AL Education Spokesperson |

Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
