| Message | In a previous vote, the Capitalist Party voted against a similar change. Will the Capitalist Party please step forward and explain to all other fellow parties why they are against this bill? |

| Message | This Party created the current system. We stand for election based on treating Hobrazia as a business. We are popular and have been re-elected on many occasions. |

| Message | While it is true that the CPH created the current system, there does not seem to be a logical reason to be against these title changes. Terms such as "National Parliament of Hobrazia" (open to change) emphasize our national sovereignty, while terms such as "President of the Republic" make our nation internationally recognizable as a trustworthy, democratic nation. We thank you for your response. However, from our perspective, it seems like the only real reason the CPH is against this bill is because it doesn't sound capitalist enough, and because it was proposed by socialists. In conclusion, running a nation has many differences to running a business. It would be better for both domestic and foreign purposes to have these or similar changes. |
