| Message | Nurseries are not good education, the best education a pre-school child can get is the company of it's parent(s) in its formative years. Private education has consistently brought higher standards of results throughout history. Bring this expertise to the nation. |
| Date | 06:03:25, April 01, 2006 CET | From | Democratic-Republican Party | To | Debating the Privatise Education |
| Message | The Democratic Republic's children are in fine hands. You cannot expect the Democratic-Republican Party to support a measure through which over half of their members of Parliament, including myself, the Party Chairwoman, would probably be on the streets or lying dead if not for the free public education system. |
