| Message | Mr Speaker, It's time for change. It should not be for the president to dictate the governments cabinet, for one man or woman to wield such power over the executive. We must instead move towards a collective system that works in the interests of everyone by allowing the elected members of parliament, the largest governing party, to decide the government should lead. We should eliminate the chances of favouritism playing a part in the future of our country and prevent any attempts at a 'job-for-friends system', instead opting for a collective approach. We must have these reforms for the good of Talmoria. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, obviously, we will be voting against proposed reform. Firstly, it's not what the public wants. Secondly - President has better legitimization to chair the government, than any of us here. He is elected in direct elections by the public - he always represents over 50% of the voters, unlike any of the politicians that occupy parliament's seats. Moreover, it's actually the only power that president wields. I can't understand how it can by "such power". Meh, reject this ridicolous amendment, and Unionist Rather should focus on reaching the office of the president to chair their cabinet, rather then proposing amendments that we don't need. |
