Message | Why? |
Date | 22:52:24, August 16, 2007 CET | From | Hobrazian Peoples Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Deadlock |
Message | It seems as we are already voting on a working, cooperative and responsible cabinet. No reason to grant the Emperor Elect veto on cabinets and thus making the parliamentary situation more competitive in scrouching for the Emperor Elect than some parties already do for the voters. |

Message | No, so the WaPP can become a blind servant to the FPoH. Thats what happens to parties who have no ideology of their own and are persuaded to only follow orders instead of creating a party structure of their own. As much as we had hoped such people would never enter politics we can only question the political interest and engagement of the WaPP. Some people enter politics for careers, others are politicians. |
