| Message | We oppose this proposal purely because we do not believe that the Head of State should be related to the Gerajan religion. We understand that this is the primary religion of Malivia, but we do not believe there should be such a strong connection between religion and politics. We support all other changes, however. |
| Date | 10:01:44, July 12, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of August 2604 |
| Message | Well, given that the three parties have many things in common, there shouldn't be a problem with this bill. But the One Voice Party is the largest party around and no government coalition can be formed without them, so we prefer to know OVP's stance on this bill first; if they support it, we will support it too. |
| Date | 15:35:48, July 12, 2008 CET | From | One-Voice Party (IP) | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of August 2604 |
| Message | OVP concurs on all stated proposals except for Article 14, which suggests the title of the Head of State to be "Hero of the Gerajan Faith's Governor General". OVP would like to remind as quoted from the Constitution of our Land, "There is no official state religion..." Therefore, we must consider the minority groups in our nation that don't practice under the Gerajan idealogies. We would like to suggest a more universal title of the Head of State. A revision of this proposal is highly suggested. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
