| Date | 22:30:06, September 08, 2007 CET | From | Plato's Republican Party | To | Debating the The appointment of mayors |
| Message | The variety of individual cities and townships is enormous, and heaping the responsibility of overseeing mayoral appointments on to an already overfull plate is not prudent. The local people understand what they want and what they need, and as such Plato's Republicans must agree with our esteemed colleagues in the CeC and DSP. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
