| Message | If this passes, not that I'm against it, we'd have non-stop cabinet proposals, as both sides of parliament will be trying to oust the other. And with a 50:50 split for the next three years, this is going to be interesting. |

| Message | I also believe that only the head of state should be able to make cabinets. If it is not left to him(or him and very big parties), then we will have non-stop proposals, as stated before. |
