Date | 23:43:16, November 08, 2011 CET | From | Tea Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform |
Message | We oppose both. The suggested reform in Article 1 is nonsensical. What is the point of having a powerless head of state and a head of government that is not elected by the people for that position? That would be a step backwards. Regarding Article 2, the Independence Party has good intentions but we feel that 600 is not enough of a reduction. Instead, we feel it should be reduced to 500. |
