| Message | We prefer to keep mayorial elections based upon municipal council election. We don't think an directly elected mayor would be as well qualified as one who is selected by those already involved in running the city. |

| Message | We have removed the article about the election about city mayors. We fundamentally disagree with the SSD. No can be no safe depository of power than the people. Anything less is no democracy. |
