| Message | This has been lifted almost exactly from the DRP’s bill, and it’s disappointing to see the archaic article 3. The gender reassignment article was added for purely political reasons, and will hopefully show the country why we need a new government come the next elections. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
