| Message | Two heads better than one? Maybe. What would your party propose calling this new head of government post. |

| Message | Linchpin, of course. Barring that, we could always resurrect Praetor. |

| Message | Oops, didn't read who authored this bill (so we thought the IP was asking a hypothetical of other parties). But our party supports linchpin, so there! Nyah! |

| Message | Won't pass, thankfully =) I like the "presidential system" Prevents us from bickering over who should be Head of Government. |

| Message | I concur, Oligarchies dont' really work all that well, one leader is more than enough. |

| Message | We propose 'Proconsul', but 'Praetor' or 'Linchpin' are acceptable. And this has nothing to do with oligarchies; we merely want to separate the two. The Consul holds enough power as Head of government without also being Head of State. |
