| Message | I've moved this up to the voting phase so that it gets in (if it does) before the next election. |

| Message | no, not every party or a. the party with the most votes or b. the head of state, this to prevent chaos. i think b. would be the best, since people dont elect him/her for nothing. They would elect the person who they think can form the best coalition. |

| Message | However, if, in the future there is an almost statistacal tie with the winning party gaining 25% or less of the vote then it would be impossible to claim that said party would have the 'endorsement of the people'. |

| Message | DSP: I was talking about the Leading Minister selecting the cabinet, since the people vote in the Leading Minister with a majority. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Vuloch Ca Korzia | To | Debating the Cabinet Ammendment Bill |
| Message | True. However it is entirely possible that a Leading Minister wins an election by, say 0.1%. Could he then claim the sole right to form a Cabinet? |
| Date | not recorded | From | Libertarian party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Cabinet Ammendment Bill |
| Message | no, a leading minister can never win with less then 50,01% thats what the second voting round is for to make sure a Leading Minister gets a majority. |
