| Message | We, the Nationalists, have multiple concerns: This bill has nothing to do with economic policies, so the mention of Capitalism was highly irrelevant. If you serve the interest of the working class, why did we get the votes of the 99%, with your party only being supported by a select minority? It is obvious who represents the working class here; it is us. We would understand if the title of the Head of Government was to be "Grand Vizier" but not "Grand Vizer" - what is a Vizer? If you notice, we said "Head of Government" and not "Head of State" - a Vizier is usually a high-ranking minister, with the "Grand Vizier" being the chief adviser to the monarch, and the head of the government that operates below the monarch. What would be the point of having both a President, and a Grand Vizier, by the way? Who would the Grand Vizier be counsel to? As Lodamun is not a monarchy, we don't see how it would make sense, unless you're planning for us to become a colony of Indrala. Our current system is one where the Prince's signature is collectively-owned by the members of the legislature. The name of the legislature strengthens that point. Collectively, the members of the legislature serve as the head of state, with the Prince being merely a figurehead. I yield. -- Henry Baker, Minister of Justice |
