| Message | AS SILLY AS THREE CONSECUTIVE Cabinet Proposals are, we nevertheless do not believe one should limit the ability to propose. Silliness is but the byproduct of a healthy and functioning democratic system. FREEDOM Allows both good and bad ideas to be proposed. It is the nature of the beast. |

| Message | Comrade Speaker, Surely, we can just give up on democracy now if this passes. |

| Message | This bill would mean the party, which had the greatest mandate from the people would get the opportunity to deliever what a plurity of people wanted. Also this bill would mean we didn't have cabinet purposal bills every year and force coalition and consensus building. |

| Message | Or allow dictatorship and tyranny. Contrary to the propaganda, Communism is not mob-rule. The majority should not wield power over the minority. If anything, this would disallow coalition and consensus building, as the majority party (if they win consecutive elections) need not change anything should new parties arise, or others fall. It places the full reigns of change of the status quo in the majority parties hands. And being the majority, we hardly see how they would be against the status quo. |
