| Message | This has historicaly made a real mess of the legislature, with 5 different proposals flying about at any one time and little sence of order. While in theroy this may be a good idea, it simply is not healthy to have more then one or two able to propose at any one time. |

| Message | This would lead to political chaos, so no. |

| Date | 09:40:55, January 08, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the FDP 003: Political Freedom |
| Message | We still think it would be better to allow the Tenno to propose a cabinet; this would allow for more political maneuvering while still keeping things under control. |
| Date | 06:39:10, January 10, 2008 CET | From | Communist Party of Sekowo | To | Debating the FDP 003: Political Freedom |
| Message | This is a key constitutional issue that should be supported. |
| Date | 19:31:22, January 10, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the FDP 003: Political Freedom |
| Message | Now that this will pass, we hope we can set up a bill enabling the Tenno alone to have the power to propose a cabinet. |
| Date | 19:46:15, January 10, 2008 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the FDP 003: Political Freedom |
| Message | This won't pass, it needs two thirds support, which is 500 seats. |
