From	Liberty Party
To	Debating the RP: Amending The Government Procedure Act of 4181
Message	A few items on this. 1-) As stated before Liberty would like to see a much quicker process when nominating the cabinet. The present system is too convoluted. Thus we believe Section 1 should be removed entirely and replaced with; 1) "any party can nominate a cabinet." 2) "if no new cabinet is placed after 2 years of an election new elections are held. 3) Previous government remains in a caretaker capacity until a new cabinet is put in place. 2-) Amendments to text. a) "Speaker 4" should be rewritten as "Section 4" b) "Any party with seats in the National Congress can can for Speaker elections." rewritten as "...can run...." 3) We commend the United Party for tackling this unenviable task. It has our full support.
