Message | "You mean apart from the fact it contains the two largest parties provided for by the popular vote." It's only just over 50% of the available seats. |
Date | 22:08:40, August 02, 2005 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the We Say So! Cabinet Proposal of May 2089 |
Message | The government to operate requires a 50% majority, which this proposal provides. Due to the proportional representation election system operated by the Hobrazian Parliamentary system, it consequently links that the Government contains over half of the Countries voters. |
Date | 22:44:40, August 02, 2005 CET | From | United Socialist Movement | To | Debating the We Say So! Cabinet Proposal of May 2089 |
Message | Yes, yes it does. Is it acceptable to leave the other 48, 47 or 46 per cent out of it though? |
Date | 22:48:01, August 02, 2005 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the We Say So! Cabinet Proposal of May 2089 |
Message | And you would suggest what, having a Government made up of all parties? Rather unwieldy don't you think? |
