Description[?]:
| Currently the state is allowed to seize private property for such an akward cause called "vital government works" which could evidently be everything.

| 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. |
