Message | We do support education, but not education forever. At some point, people need to be free to live their life as they please. They can pursue education, or get a job, or get live the life of a tramp. That's not our business when they turn 17. |

Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
