Message | Mr. Speaker, we would like to thank everyone who supported this bill. In the meanwhile we have a shortage of over 18 billion LOD. Have you got any idea what that is? The Nationalists hardly ever had a loss during their time in government. This is madness! Hans Dewitte vice-President of Lodamun |

Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
