| Message | Hehe, no! We have started a debate, but not yet reached any constructive conclusion. As said already in another topic, we would choose a hereditary and simbolic HoS, just pro forma, because we don't have pure presidential system, we want "primeministerial" system. |
| Date | 10:29:23, June 27, 2008 CET | From | Rutanian Democratic Forum | To | Debating the Constitutional Amendment Act, 2598 - Executive Amalgamation |
| Message | We also are fully aware that such amendmend would bring only LCP to power, and we do not want that :-) We could also ask that LCP supports our candidate in next elections ... but given there is no any partnership between our two parties, it is unlikely to happen. |
| Date | 01:15:50, June 28, 2008 CET | From | Federal Rutanian Libertarian Union | To | Debating the Constitutional Amendment Act, 2598 - Executive Amalgamation |
| Message | Why would the LCP support an unpopular candidate? Consistently our candidates have a plurality in votes and it would unwise for our party to withdraw our candidates. |
| Date | 14:02:45, June 28, 2008 CET | From | Rutanian Democratic Forum | To | Debating the Constitutional Amendment Act, 2598 - Executive Amalgamation |
| Message | Too much concentration in hands of one party is never appropriate. Everything is according to our laws, but this laws do not prevent such concentration of powers. RRDF candidate is not such an unpopular candidate, and endorsing RRDF candidate for one mandate would show LCP's readiness to reaching an agreement and partnership for better Rutania. |
