| Message | The Prime Minister should have the faith of his party to have the people advising him in the manner he wants to be advised in. This is not, and should not be a party matter. |

| Message | We would support widening it to allow anyone to propose a cabinet, actually. |

| Message | Actually, letting the Prime Minister take over this would be agreeable. I trust all my companions enough in that position, and it would give the HoS -some- power - at present, they are only a figurehead. We still support expanding it to allow anyone to propose a cabinet, of course. |

| Message | We feel that this will transmit too much power into the hands of someone who is basically only ceremonial.. |

| Message | Well, the cabinet are his advisors. They speak to him, they advise him. Why would people play politics with that? |
