| Message | Members of the Presidium, EL's "Counter proposal for a unity cabinet" will not be passed: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=418711 We also want clarification on Section 1. Is this bill saying that there must be a cabinet proposal after every legislative election? This is unnecessary. It seems to want to merge legislative and executive elections. That is a tradition of other countries, not Lodamun. The proposal is overall complex, and gives the Speaker too much unnecessary power. It treats the Speaker like a member of the executive government. When has there ever been disorder in a debate? -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, President of Lodamun |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, After every election there is a cabinet proposal, that is normal, how else can you government? Even if it's a continuation of the previous administration. Seems the GNRG wishes to establish a presidential dictatorship. The Speaker will only create order on set dates when a bill move to a vote and oversee the whole procedure. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The cabinet doesn't need to be changed every time that the Presidium is changed, and vice versa. A single Presidium can witness several administrations, and a single administration can witness several Presidiums. My party won't request permission from anyone before setting a bill to vote. -- Gordon Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, President of Lodamun |
