Message | This could result in less "Powurr to thu peepole derp" and is completely uncalled for. We hate local governments as much as any rational person, but a direct election of mayors is the best way to let people think they matter. |
Date | 00:42:39, September 26, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the Local Government Act |
Message | The method of appointment is not a matter for local governments to decide. In order for policy devolution to be effective, citizens must be allowed to directly elect their local government. Daunte Woodoson Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |

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). |
