| Date | 04:59:40, November 23, 2008 CET | From | Kébé Front | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of December 2669 |
| Message | Some Issues: Cabinet Proposal As we, the Cold World Party, holds the Head of State office, holding the Chairman office as well is rather redundant. On top of this we shall not compromise on the MRGA. We invite with open arms the minor parties into the cabinet, but not the MRGA. Article 14 It is a women's right to choose whether ot not to have a baby. We find the current value to be an undebateable compromise on abotion rights. Article 15 We have no issue with this. Article 16 Taxing food and clothing will only harm the poor people of Al'Badara. Article 17 Majesty is a term generally used in states holding a monarchy. While we do not oppose such states, we'd prefer to stay neutral in our titles and keep Majelis, which translate to Council. Article 18 We have no problem with this. Article 19 We have no problem with this. Namely for the cabinet and the abortion rights we oppose this bill. As stated before we are fully ready to compromised on a non-MRGA cabinet. |
