| Date | 05:05:39, May 11, 2017 CET | From | Imperial Union of Hobrazia | To | Debating the The Education reform act |
| Message | Education is a basic right and the government should be everything in its power to ensure its citizens can get a proper education. Now while I may not have a say in this Legislator I still put my vote to a 'Yes' vote despite some objections to Article 5. However these objections don't outweight the possible benefits to this nations citizens. |
