| Message | The current cabinet has been in place far too long, Liberal stonewalling and calls for new elections everytime a member from the opposing coalition comes to power makes unseating it difficult. While this proposal will make the seating of a cabinet more chaotic it will hopefully make it more democratic and able to respond to change more quickly. |

| Message | This is only to satisfy your wants, it is not democratic, it is simply an act of desperation by a radical, communist party. |

| Message | As for the call for early elections: Look who is making such claims. You have called for early elections more that five times when I or an ally have held the presidency. I always give a reason for it unlike you. |

| Message | Well, the HOS would have less to do which means the difference in responsibility is now smaller. |
