| Date | 21:08:44, November 24, 2008 CET | From | Königstreue Sozialdemokrat 社会民主 | To | Debating the Democratic Elections Act of 2670 |
| Message | Letting the local government decide this issue is the same as asking the Governor-General to decide whether he is to be elected or if he is just simply in his position until he decides to quit. Hulstria is a democracy and having local governments open to the possibility of unelected mayors is not democratic. There needs to be an exact law that states that mayors are to be elected directly by the people. |
