| Message | We see no reason for this to have been rushed through non-voting discussions. We are open to renaming the Ouparath, but the Maharaja has had too much history to be thrown away as a title. -Joseph Hunter, Chancellor Supporters of Science in Design |

| Message | The Maharaja name doesn't have as much history as the name Dauphin. The Dauphin was the first name after the standard "President" name. Personally my party would like to see the Dauphin name return to the head of state. |
