| Message | Now that it is 100 years since my party was established, and the communists left to New Endralon, it's high time we made decisions about the future of our country. The SoS would favour a directly elected Head of State - who could still be called an Emperor if parties wish, or could take on some other title. My party also favour this one leader being given the job of head of government "Chancellor" as well. That way we would have one leader for one nation, democratically elected every term. |

| Message | I agree that there should only be 1 leader, that is much easier then 2 leaders. We have the parlement to overrule our leader so there isn't a threat of being out of control. This leader can indeed be elected. The name we giver our leader doens't matter to me. |

| Message | I have added a system for directly elected Emperors. If all the parties can have their say here then I will attempt to bridge a consensus. |

| Message | um i certainly don't agree with the first proposal :s every party should have the right to propose cabinets |

| Message | I think it is fair to protect the country from having an cabinet which is against the emperor so it is okay to me that only the Head of State can propose a cabinet. The second article will have us less money spended on wages and dotations so this is good. |

| Message | Yes the idea is that the directly elected leader should have first say. But I am willing to compromise on the cabinet article, because with an elected leader the cabinet won't have total power anyway. Are the parties willing to go with keeping the titles the same: so that the leader will be an elected Emperor? |
| Date | 15:38:24, February 07, 2006 CET | From | Jesters & Jugglers Party | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform: Elected Monarchy |
| Message | We will support this bill if the first proposal is removed. we have already suggested changing the titles in our own bill |
| Date | 23:30:41, February 08, 2006 CET | From | Society of Sadists | To | Debating the Constitutional Reform: Elected Monarchy |
| Message | Very well, let us open a brave new era of Endralonian history. This is the most important bill to be put to the vote in nearly a century. |
