| Message | This is not necesarry. Too much power to the same person is not good. Besides, why would you want to change something that works perfectly? If it's not broken, don't fix it. |

| Message | Well it is kind of broken as the office of prime minister is practicly useless. I dont really see any good reason to continue having a pm |

| Message | Well, there is no problem with having it either. If it exists or not won't make a diference anyways. |

| Message | Well it means we will basicly be paying for a job we dont need. And for your argument about too much power, I can not think of one power the pm has that the president dont already got, so there wouldnt be any more power. The office as it is now is just a waist of money. If we are too keep we should actually take some power away from the president and give it to the pm, so atleast it has a purpose |

| Message | Thats a good argument for why the government should be as small as possible :) But I think we should eather get rid of a useless office or give the president less power so the pm has a purpose |

| Message | I disagree with giving more power to the Prime Minister and taking away from the President. The Prime Minister is kind of a symbolic position. I think we should keep it. |

| Message | the pm is a symbolic position? The pm was never intended as a symbolic position, and if thats all it is reduced too then thats just sad. Anyway if the PFP wont remove the office then the LLP will atleast ask the PFP to consider making the president less powerfull and the pm more powerfull so it can actually have a use. |

| Message | I don't want to remove the Prime Minister but the President should keep its power, so I will vote for it. |

| Message | The Prime Minister used to be the powerful position. Perhaps we want to change the title of Prime Minister to Vice President? Then we can get rid of all the useless VP laws. The new VP position would combine the responsibilities of both offices. |

| Message | Not a bad idea. |

| Message | Really good idea! |
