| Message | Aidano Cesaro, Leader of the C.C.: "I thank the President and his spokesperson for putting this proposal forward. However, I must disagree with some of the provisions included above as I believe they contradict the will of the special committee which was established to decide this matter. The first objection I have is that the Interior Minister is always the Deputy Prime Minister. I know that, in my movement, if we were to fall into second-party of a cabinet, our party leader would probably take the role of Minister of Finance - not of the Interior. Each party has its own priorities, and as such codifying it in such a manner would deprive parties of their own priorities (I think back to the Farmers' Party who would place an emphasis on the Ministry of Food and Agriculture over Interior, as well). My solution to this objective is to allow the Deputy Prime Minister to simply be the senior-most Cabinet Minister of the second-largest party of the Chamber of Deputies, followed by the senior-most Minister of the third-largest party, and so on. The second objection I raise is that the President of the Senate ought to be the senior-most senator of the largest Coalition party in the Senate. For example, if the largest coalition party in the Chamber of Deputies is different than the largest coalition party in the Senate, then the largest coalition party in the Senate should be the President of the Senate (and thus Vice President of the Republic). For, as it was state in the special committee, "The Senate President should be the Vice President of Istalia and should be from the largest party in the Senate that is ALSO a member of the Chamber of Deputies coalition government." The solution here is simply to change Article 3, Section c, to read: "The President of Senate of the Republic shall belong to the largest Senatorial party of the Government Coalition." Thank you for your consideration - without these amendments we will likely be unable to pass this measure." |
