| Message | 1) 2 years is too short. The minimum I would agree to is 3 years 2) I am for the joint HoS/HoG option, however if that is passed then the Cabinet proposals article is not necessary, since the HoS would have automatic veto power over any Cabinet proposal since he automatically gets the HoG position. I think that combining HoS with HoG is a good idea, however the any-party-proposes rule should be kept as is. In other words, I am against the bill as it is right now, but am ready to vote for 36 months and joint HoS/HoG. |

| Random fact: Parties have the ability to endorse another party's candidate for the Head of State election (if there is one). This adds a strategic element to the elections. |
