| Message | We will offer our support for this. Instead of thinking in terms of the military, perhaps it could be a local militia or a national guard sort of thing. |
| Date | 03:12:13, April 29, 2007 CET | From | Justice League of Cildania | To | Debating the In Case of National Emergency |
| Message | Though it is vital that the military and police remain seperate entities, banning the military from domestic emergencies would be a waste of resources and could create disasterous consequences if not utilized in time. We agree with this proposal. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
