Bill: Executive Presidency Act

Description[?]:
| The Dranish political parties have been unable to form a government in recent years, despite the immense political challenges we have faced.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, This legislation will not solve the governmental gridlock. Even if the prime ministry is abolished and presidential power increased, there will still be an inability for parliament to approve a cabinet. I encourage other members of parliament to oppose this opportunistic attempt as increasing presidential power. Sun Gyeong-yun KSDP Parliamentary Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, the advantage of this legislation is that it would at least ensure Dranland had a Head of Government (ie. the President) even if a Cabinet could not be formed. That would be better than nothing, surely? President Duvalle |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, What use is a head of government if there is no government to run? The only solution to this governmental crisis is either new elections or the rightist parties conceding that they must moderate and bring centrist or leftist parties into coalition. Sun Gyeong-yun KSDP Parliamentary Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, the efforts which have been made to form a coalition so far have failed. If Sun Gyeong-yun thinks he can do any better, then he is very welcome to propose one himself. But in the meantime, Dranland remains without a functioning Head of Government, and this is not good for us. President Rafael Duvalle |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We will present a solution to the governmental crisis, and from this, if still no solution is found, we demand immediate elections. http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=378292 Sun Gyeong-yun KSDP Parliamentary Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker We fully agree with our progressive allies but we won't support a government that includes any of the Axis of Evil. Kenny Moriapo MP UAC Leader of the Coalition |
