| Message | We like everything but article 1. We guess, that on a later date we could return to change it. |

| Message | Article one is really irriating to us to the point that we cannot now support the legislation at hand. Although the other two proposals have merit, we simply cannot support article one. For goodness sakes, the interpretation of article one is like a person was born in Jakinia, but they are not a citizen... and they need to pass a test to become one? We see that for immigrants that is a good idea, but for all the people that consider themselves 'nationals', have to give them a test? Waste of money and could alienate people who by right of birth, became wonderful citizens of United Jakinia. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
