| Message | So for the Head of State title: the DPD seems much more familiar with Dolgaria's ancient roots than the PGP, so we're not questioning the validity of the title "Prezidents". The PGP has had a long history (occasionally interrupted) of holding the Head of State position. During that time the position has always been called "Vadītājs". Perhaps we could compromise with "Prezidents un Vadītājs"? (OOC: does that make sense? It's really no big deal, vadītājs just sounds cool to me) |

| Message | We do not insist that the Head of State should be called Prezidents, therefore also Vadītājs seems to be acceptable. What does the PGP think of an more honorable title of Virsaitis? This has currently been added to the bill. Virsaitis means the leader of a tribe or a general leader with a respectable statue. While this might have some connection to monarchic structures of our forefathers, it is more to be seen as an honorary status, a title devoted to a leader of the nation. OOC: It is obvious, that Prezidents means President, but Vadītājs means leader in a general term. For example, Veikala vadītājs (would translate into head of a shop), nodaļas vadītājs (head of a department), etc. |
| Date | 03:55:57, June 09, 2011 CET | From | Progressive Green Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Amendments 3133 |
| Message | The PGP agrees heartily with the suggestion of Virsaitis. We will certainly vote yes. |
