| Message | We do support doing away with mayors, but we prefer local councils as the uniform system. |
| Date | 16:39:06, August 14, 2009 CET | From | People's Party - Republican Democrats | To | Debating the Local Administration Reform Bill of 2801 |
| Message | This proposal does not necessarily do away with mayors, and we do indeed still prefer directly elected mayors cooperating with local councils, but this proposal gives local governments the autonomy to decide about this matter for themselves. Where they prefer a directly elected mayor, they can still have that, but where the system the Green Party prefers is desired, they can also have that, and other structures are also possible. |
| Date | 17:16:41, August 14, 2009 CET | From | New Whig Party | To | Debating the Local Administration Reform Bill of 2801 |
| Message | We, on the other hand, would prefer the mayoral system to be kept in place. |
| Date | 18:10:36, August 14, 2009 CET | From | People's Party - Republican Democrats | To | Debating the Local Administration Reform Bill of 2801 |
| Message | And it would be kept in place where it is so desired. |
| Date | 19:18:09, August 14, 2009 CET | From | National Action Party | To | Debating the Local Administration Reform Bill of 2801 |
| Message | The NAP believes neither way is desirable. Mayors should be appointed. |
| Date | 19:20:41, August 14, 2009 CET | From | People's Party - Republican Democrats | To | Debating the Local Administration Reform Bill of 2801 |
| Message | That is only to be expected from an authoritarian party. |
