| Message | On reflection I feel this will cause more trouble then help. I can to easily see 8 different cabinets been proposed at once. |

| Message | What's the problem is someone makes 8 proposals? There's nothing to stop anyone making silly proposals on other subjects so why be so concerned about this? And I'm dissapointed that the Sharrianic Party have choosen to act in such a partisan way. Especially as the present system caused us to go a full term without a cabinet and most of the present term to install the current one. In the interests of democracy I urge everyone to support this bill. |

| Message | Oh well I lost (again) I hope this doesn't cause more headaches later. Mostly I wanted to see the power of the cabinet before changing this. |
