| Message | 横駆け巡っパーティー suspects that some sort of sinister motive must lie behind the sudden decision of the Sekowo no kokumintō to wish to change constitutional procedures so that only the Head of State can propose a cabinet coalition. Surely this is an attempt to thwart the growing democratic opposition to Sekowo no kokumintō's , so that the Sekowo no kokumintō can cling on to power for a little bit longer. Nonetheless, 横駆け巡っパーティー opposes discrimination against minorities. In addition, while we oppose jackbooted fascism, we also oppose Communism. In sum, this legislation constitutes change, of a sort. And we stand for change, not for the senescent Fascist status quo that has lingered for nearly twenty years. |

| 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. |
