| Message | That is not what this would achieve, this would mean would not appoint 'special advisors' and would ensure the smooth running of the state. |

| Message | Proposed: All government employees have to promise political independence. meaning these government employees cannot align to a party and thus are taken away the right to think and to free speech. |

| Message | ps. i think they mean government employee's like administrators, and janitors, police-officers and everybody in service of the government. |

| Message | I disagree fundamentally, the wording is that this proposal does not equate to the current: Government employees are selected and appointed in a political way. I feel that the proposed is far more healthy for democracy as it will check the power of an overly represented government. |

| Message | until a better proposal is possible i will have to agree (thinking of the impact of every decision, on 1 hand you have a point on the other hand if government workers would align to the party in charge we would be sure they are dedicated.) |

| Message | Maybe civil servants should have to sign a declaration of indpendendence and impartiality. A promise isn't really strong enough |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
