| Message | Mr. Speaker, I agree that this is unnecessary. Direct elections for the national level are impractical because of the number of parties and all the madness that can result. Proportional representation is used to determine the seats in the Presidium, so we can trust MPs to properly represent the population when electing a President who represents a majority of the people and oversees management of the state. On the local level, people should be able to elect their mayors directly. I don't see why anyone would have a problem with mayors being elected directly. -- Andre Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Minister of Trade/Industry, Vice President of Lodamun |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
