| Message | We can afford it, with current revenues, and no cuts need be made. We support it. Would the Minister of Finance support a rider to the bill specifying the 50 billions Sol of the current expenditure increase for Infrastructure and Transport specifically be targetted towards high speed upgrades to the current national passenger rail service?

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
