Message | I agree with 3 - if people can afford the fees, make them pay. If they can't, don't. I also agree with 4, but I am voting no because of 1 and 2. |
Date | 21:22:38, November 26, 2006 CET | From | Catholic Workers Union | To | Debating the UCA Education Manifesto |
Message | We would have supported this, but Article 4 would contribute to the break down of our social order, and so we must oppose. While we are interested in the benefits privatization can have for the nation (and our party's bank account - contributions, yum), any bill that includes a provision to destabilize society is dead to us. |
Date | 22:19:29, November 26, 2006 CET | From | United Liberal Alliance | To | Debating the UCA Education Manifesto |
Message | It doesn't destabalise social order, it simply tries to help to prevent child abuse |
Date | 04:15:07, November 27, 2006 CET | From | National Fasco-Communist Order | To | Debating the UCA Education Manifesto |
Message | We love 1 and 2, 3 doesn't go far enough, and we're opposed to 4. The privitization is enough of a reason for us to support this though. |
