Message | I agree wholeheartedly with the articles but, for a small party you overstep your bounds with the suggested cabinet proposal, your party sounds treasonous and must learn its place. Marosa Ventros Minister of Internal Affairs |
Date | 15:00:16, October 26, 2013 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Stability Act - (Year Pending) |
Message | Mr. Speaker, It isn't about the size of the party. It is about the core values and the maintenance of unity. The size of the party in the legislature has nothing to do with it's right to be or not to be in the cabinet, as long as the other parties will support it. I think Marosa Ventros should go back to school and study, and hear about minority governments. Legislative and executive duties are separate. Government parties don't always agree on legislation; in fact, it's a very rare occurrence that they do. Opposition parties don't always agree on legislation either. Seats in the legislature and the right to rule are unrelated. A party can gain support from another party. We also have more experience than the current ruling coalition. If the party continues to be attacked, the banks and the people will react. -- Shalev Howse, Deputy Chairman of the NRG |
Date | 09:07:26, October 27, 2013 CET | From | Liberal Party of Lodamun | To | Debating the Stability Act - (Year Pending) |
Message | Well aren't you a bold one. Ronald Martin, Minister of Head of Government |
Date | 13:27:05, October 27, 2013 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Stability Act - (Year Pending) |
Message | OOC: Lol, dude... Ronald Martin's title is "President" :P |
Date | 15:47:05, October 27, 2013 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the Stability Act - (Year Pending) |
Message | Mr. Speaker, It is obvious that the other parties in Lodamun are not bold, and do not support boldness. Instead, they cling to their lust for power while strangling those who are bold. The President himself has admitted that we are bold, Mr. Speaker. -- Paul Fertig, Chairman of the NRG, Deputy Opposition Leader |
