| Message | Mr. Speaker, Article 1 is problematic for us because some of our members are complaining that it conveys subtle Satanic messages. We oppose Article 2. "Prime Minister" sounds more civilised than "Hand of the King". The title proposed in Article 3 is too pompous and long-winded. Article 4 is problematic. In legend, dragons are evil and money-hoarding creatures. Should we really make a dragon our national animal? Article 5 is OK, as is the proposed name change for the country. We would like a gentle, inoffensive constitutional monarchy in Telamon (but remember that would require an Article of its own). Article 6 is problematic. 72 months is too long. Article 7 is great. Telamon does not need 600 politicians; 75 would be just fine. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Telamonese society is perfectly fine the way it is. There is no need, and no want of these dramatic changes. |

| Message | The last time a monarch ruled Telamon the dark lord Chamon69 led his armies upon our fair domain,we don't want to see more turmoil as a result of this. |
