Message | "Under no circumstances. This would set Supreme President Toynbee as King. That is clearly unacceptable. Besides anything else, this Act makes no provision for the actual establishment of a Monarchy, a Royal House, nor is the correct person in Office to be elevated to such as level. No, this cannot be rushed." Asbjørn Holm, CMP Senatorial Lead. |

Message | We would like this set-up in Solentia eventually to give us some distinct historical culture. Coleen Power |

Message | "However if this passed, Saul Toynbee would become King. To my understanding, he is a commoner, it wouldn't be accepted." Asbjørn Holm, CMP Senatorial Lead. |

Date | 01:34:43, August 16, 2010 CET | From | Sue's Corner | To | Debating the Head of State reform |
Message | Well, we currently do not have Royal members as such. Would nobles refer to those knighted with titles? If so, we don't have any of those in Solentia. Coleen Power |

Message | "Actually, the Nobles lines are those that are inherited. Lords Belisarius, Kennedy, Seymour and York for examples. These people do exist and there lines are present in our culture even if civic law does not presently recognise their titles. There are also Royal inheritors within Greater Quanzar though whether they are within our borders, I couldn't say." Asbjørn Holm, CMP Senatorial Lead. |
Date | 04:24:36, August 16, 2010 CET | From | Meritocratic Alliance | To | Debating the Head of State reform |
Message | Saul Toynbee will not accept being king. We cannot go forward with this. |
Date | 13:41:29, August 16, 2010 CET | From | Social Justice Party | To | Debating the Head of State reform |
Message | The SDLP will never support any form of hereditary system within our system of formulating a Head of State. Walton Laboissonnier SDLP Senate Leader |
