Description[?]:
| This is a bill aimed at centralizing the government in order to make it more efficent. The less red tape, the less coalition building, and less legislative disagreement means a more efficent government. Through the next few years the Unionist Government plans to phase out democracy as it is today, for a new United form of government. One in which the people will no longer have to make the important decisions. One in which the government can show the people what they really want. This is the Vision of the Unionist Party. Viva la Unionism! |

| Message | In order to have a more effective rulling aparatus, the government must be made smaller, and more trusting. By consolidating the jobs of the Head of State and the Head of Government, and also while decreasing the size of our Legislature we are able to have a more "agile" and efficent government. How can a government which is ran by a particular political party hope to achieve anything unless it is staffed by people who share the same ideas. This is why we should allow political type appointments. And finally in order to protect the authority of the nation, we must make sure that we can Identify potential threats among us. It is imparative to our national security to make sure we are not allowing spies and sabatours among us. This is the Vison of the Unionist Party! Viva la Unionism! |

| Message | OOC: First of all, welcome to our little nation ;). I like the line of your party that it's completely different from mine, opposition is always good (well, the non-whining one at least). ^^ First of all, we are completely against the appointment of public employees in a political way. This is just a veiled way to say legalized corruption. You say it will enanche democracy, I say it destroys it. People will buy votes off by promising governamental jobs. We can't allow it to happen. Identity cards are acceptable, but I suggest you to create a bill just for it, since that proposal requires 50% majority, while the whole bill here requires a supermajority to amend the constitution. ;) About Parliamentarism, it's debatable, but there must be a proposal that Anti-Socialist party proposed. The number of seats cannot be reduced now, because it will penalize the newer parties. |

| Message | The Unionists have decided that it would be much easier to pass our ID Card legislation in a seperate bill. Thank you. This is the Vision of the Unionist Party. Viva la Unionism! |

| Message | Ditto on what the badmouther said, the more parties and the more views the better, although we're gonna vote no on this one. |

| Message | You're making it a lot harder for yourself to win any seats by only wanting 75... |

| Message | Ditto on Tudeh. It should probably go the other way. |
