MessageWe cannot support Article 3 as this is not conducive to an effective bureaucracy.

MessageLike the Liberal Party, we are hesitant towards Article 3. We have no real objection to either of the first two articles, but the third will take some consideration.

From Rutanian Elitist Party
ToDebating the Constitutional Reform Act of 2809
MessageIn our point of view, in order to achieve an efficient government we need a bureaucracy which in not hostile to us, which is not remnant of an old government, loyal to it.
Thus, we believe that it in the interest of both governing parties to install this measure. If the RHP really wants us to remove this article we will do so. Then we also have to change the title of the PM, it cannot be the Director-General of the Civil Service given the fact that state bureaucracy is independent from the political sphere.

Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election.
