Message | Now that the Christian League lost control of the Head of State, it wants to change the law. How hypocrite you are! |

Message | this is actually in response to the fact that we had to have new elections in order to break the deadlock. for the stability of the republic we feel that any party which can form a more sustainable coalition should maintain control of the cabinet, under the overseer ship of the Head of State. |

Message | We are not proposing this bill for our own interests, we stress that this is being proposed in order for a more sustainable government. the last several governing coalitions have been increasingly unstable so we believe allowing the second party to form a government, increasing the numbers to make the chamber more Representative, and elongating the length of power from 3 to 5 years will provide greater stability. |

Message | Very fancy way of putting it but it doesn't work. We all know why you are doing this. |
