| Message | We can't see any real need in Vice Presidential office in Rutania, but, on another hand, we don't think that this bill will have any negative consequences. |
| Date | 20:00:49, May 02, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Restoration Party | To | Debating the Act of Settlement 2750 |

| Message | Response to the PSLM: This measeure would increase the prepresentation of the people within the Presidential Office of Rutania, given the fact that two parties would have acces to this institiution. |

| Message | Response to the RSDP: If the President and the Vice-President are from the same party, then there is really no point in creating the office. But if they have to be from different parties, the fact has many advantages: - encourages cooperation among the parties - offers better representation of the citizens - the major decisions are not monopolized by one party. I think in this way I answerd to the last question as well. |
| Date | 14:39:08, May 03, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Heritage Party | To | Debating the Act of Settlement 2750 |
| Message | As the party in Rutania with the greatest number of seats in parliament and the greatest number of votes in the last few elections, the 'RHP' believe that it is only reasonable that the vice president be a member of our party, though under this legislation, that would of course be left to the president's discretion. We would also take this as a gesture of good-will and friendship, and a step towards reconciling the recent differences between our party and the 'REP' over the issue of 'Nova Terra'. |

| 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). |
