Message | I think this legistlation may cause a military coup. |
Date | 20:59:38, July 15, 2012 CET | From | Takanashi Clan | To | Debating the Gendarmerie Act |
Message | Except this act do not grant more power to the military, except the powers of arrest. We do not think the powers of arrest will assist the military enough to enable them to coup, assuming they do not have the power to do so now. |

Message | Considering we don't believe this bill itself can cause a coup, members and supporters of the Karav dynasty are forced to assume the House of Astredies is actually making a threat - saying that if this bill is passed, they will attempt a coup. We have no problem with the proposal itself, but we do prefer the existing law, so we voted "No" but this specific arrangement has been made before, where the military controls law enforcement. Beluzia was quite okay at the time. It is evident that the only feasible coup could be staged by paramilitaries of the House of Astredies, considering they outnumber all other paramilitaries combined. |

Message | With the threat presenting itself, we have changed our vote to "Yes" because if the House of Astredies wants to stage a coup, this seems to be able to allow counter-coup action (by their theory at least). |
