| Message | Article 1: We feel the number of proposals allowed to be given in the course of a year is adequate. Kanjor has a long tradition of 12 proposals, one per month. Article 2: Why? Is there a reason that this should be extended? How about an "even" 48 months (four years) instead? Article 3: Possibly plausible, albeit we have reservations. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
| Random quote: "The problem is big government. If whoever controls government can impose his way upon you, you have to fight constantly to prevent the control from being harmful. With small, limited government, it doesn't much matter who controls it, because it can't do you much harm." - Harry Browne |
