| Message | If this bill fails now, how about, for the next time it is put up, we have the HoG as Commissioner-General? that is if the hog is chancellor or something like that, as the blp suggested? |

| Message | OOC: I had suggested making the legislature "Legislative Commission" or "Estates Commission" with the HoS being the "Commissioner" |

| Message | Commissioner-General it is. Let's hope to god we can get this passed. We're looking for 266. At this rate, I don't think it'll happen. |

| Message | Right now, if votes line up like they did the last couple of times, we're at 202. We hope the Communists and the RDNP see the wisdom of this split and decide to vote on the side of true democracy and not be the puppets of a corrupted party. |

| Message | I hope this is supported by all realizing the true good intentions here. And, the Ltm3311 Party has been really inactive for weeks now and is still up here without getting inactivated; their user page shows no last activity, must be some sort of technical error. We must report this to the game moderator and let new parties, if any, have a place instead. (No more than 8 parties can exist in a country, and including them we have 8...so why keep them when they are not even around?) |

| Message | While we're happy for the support of this bill, we still do not have enough of a majority to pass it. It seems like Stanton will not switch sides, so hopefully the RDNP will see the positives of this measure. |

| Message | I believe Stanton House's vote for this measure is guaranteed if there's a proposal to have only the majority party have the authority to put up the cabinet coalition bill. Think it's worthy, do consider. |

| Random fact: Parties have the ability to endorse another party's candidate for the Head of State election (if there is one). This adds a strategic element to the elections. |
