| Message | I think that definitely the first article will make this game more strategic, and more fun. I dunno about the second article though... give me some input and if you will support or not. |
| Date | 20:30:38, April 11, 2008 CET | From | Rightful Radical Party | To | Debating the OOC: Constitutional Amendments |
| Message | We will agree if the current Government resigns and then, nobody would get the 'sealing effect'. Vojislav Krkljus Chairman of the RRP |

| Message | It sounds good, but it's actually a pain; too often you'll get a situation where someone who wins head of government can lock the majority out of actually doing anything; which wouldn't be a problem if parties didn't sometimes just disappear leaving cabinet posts unfilled for years on end. |
| Date | 21:32:41, April 11, 2008 CET | From | Radical Party | To | Debating the OOC: Constitutional Amendments |
| Message | Article one seems interesting, but article two seems unlikely and dangerous. I prefer the whole seperation of powers. |
| Date | 02:03:41, April 12, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the OOC: Constitutional Amendments |
| Message | We agree with article 1, but not article 2. |
| Date | 03:18:36, April 12, 2008 CET | From | Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the OOC: Constitutional Amendments |
| Message | Would the RRP support if I resigned my cabinet seats. We could also pass an early election... |
| Date | 11:12:09, April 12, 2008 CET | From | Rightful Radical Party | To | Debating the OOC: Constitutional Amendments |
| Message | We will vote yes on this bill as soon as new election results are in. Vojislav Krkljus Chairman of the RRP |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, it is the responsibility of players to ensure the candidate boxes on their Party Overview screens are filled in with appropriate names. If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
