| Message | RDf wont support because we believe that this matter should really be left to local governments... p.s. We are still just Comonwealth, not (Grand) Commonwealth. |
| Date | 07:43:51, August 02, 2008 CET | From | Kazari Militarist Movement | To | Debating the Nationalize Fire Department |
| Message | But in times of emergency, such as wildfires or a city wide fire, will the local governments be willing to donate some of their ladders to the greater emergency? |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
