| Message | This is what this bill will do: All parties enter "." as the name of their candidate for Head of State. Then, we change the title to "His Most Reverend Eminence, Archbishop X of Telamon" (X being the actual name of the guy). The party (/-ies) with the most votes in Migadon in the last election proposes a candidate (best done in a bill), tells us a little bit about hime (like his views, or his age) and lets him die off before he reaches an age of 100 or more. Then we make a bill changing the title of the archbishop. This happens any time he dies. I know that it's a bit complicated, but it's a lot more fun than having an archbishop that's elected by the nation, which would be kind of weird. |
