| Message | I thought it best that i explain my reasoning behind why i propose these changes. Article I: I admit I once played apart in partisan politics but, now we must have one by partisan government based on merit rather than who has the largest amount of seats. Article II: Once again employees should be hired based on their merit rather than their politics ideaology. Hiring someone just because you share same the politics views is not a democratic government. Article III: True Democracy called for equal representation no matter the size of a state or region this way best serves the Sekowan people. Article IV: By Lowering the Retirement Age it allows the elderly to retire early and make way for the younger generation who have the energy and stamina to suppport the economy. Article V: The Legislative Term is simply too long. For one party to be in power so long is simply a democratic tyranny. |

| Message | The only part we don't support is the regional seat distribution, simply put if a region has more people it ought to have more say. We also support the current retirement age, but it's not really a big issue for us. |

| Message | Article 2 will is unworkable. Plus, we feel these proposals are too detailed, and will make the constitution inflexible. |

| Message | So you are saying that if one does not share your same political ideaology with you they cannot work for your government if your were head of the Government? and flexability is one thing I feel this government has taken advantage of, and frankly the consistution can always be changed to meet the need of future generations but as of right now I feel these changes are a need! |

| Message | If we enforced article 2, we would never be able to make a new cabinet, EVER. |

| Message | Ok so if Article 2 was removed would you be willing to support? |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
