From | mutt Party | To | Debating the Religious Freedom | | Message | Not sure. Bare in mind that some religious schools will make stupid religons up and run to make a profit only. |

From | Liberal Party for Equality | To | Debating the Religious Freedom | | Message | well, we already have private schools running to make a profit - what is the difference? the business of indoctrinating people into a phony religion is actually quite expensive. |

From | mutt Party | To | Debating the Religious Freedom | | Message | Exactly. We can't let some crazed fans bringing up their children thinking that jedi or some other wacky thing is real. |

From | National Centrist Party | To | Debating the Religious Freedom | | Message | Ugh, you see, we shouldn't be controlling which religions can and can't run schools. The state really shouldn't be in the religious business, so it's not the government's decision about whether "Jehovah" or "Jeffrey" is god.. |

From | Liberal Party for Equality | To | Debating the Religious Freedom | | Message | Well, I would equally be in favour of that approach. But we had just voted ourselves out of that, so this seemed to be the best way to make the system more equal which would have support. |

From | SDP | To | Debating the Religious Freedom | | Message | We favour the current law. |
| Date | 22:07:42, June 29, 2005 CET |
From | National Centrist Party | To | Debating the Religious Freedom | | Message | If my vote is the decider, then I shall vote yes to this, as I see it superior to our present law.
If my vote is not the decider, however, I shall vote no, to preserve my stance.
Our country and what I believe best for it comes before my stance, but where I can satisfy both, I will. |

From | Edelweiss Party | To | Debating the Religious Freedom | | Message | We vote yes, liberty in religion can result in education as well. The possibility of every religion setting up an education system (under government regulations) is their good right! |

From | National Centrist Party | To | Debating the Religious Freedom | | Message | I can't remove my vote, since this isn't certain to pass. I can't predict the RP's vote or the RWLP's vote. |
