Message | While this seems like a good idea, we have seen it lead to chaos in other nations. We cannot support. |
Date | 17:44:25, July 09, 2010 CET | From | Social Justice Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal Act 2966 |
Message | This bill was forwarded to allow all parties to participate in cabinet formation and to allow parties with significant numbers in the Senate to form a coalition in spite of each party necessarily having a plurality of seats. The DAP believes that this would not lead to chaos, but rather provide for more open and electorally legitimate outcomes in the Solentian administration. |
