| Message | This will lead to cabinets being proposed endlessly, the HoS is elected by the people and they alone should have the power to propose their cabinet |

| Message | Actually, it makes the game more interesting and fun. I played this game before, in United Jakania(Freee Republican Party, modeleed after Germany's Free Democrats), and we tried it both ways. We found this way to be far more enjoyable and beneficial. |

| Message | heh, the parties in power vote to preserve their power. I will not support the LBSC's canidate in the second round any more. It is completely ridiculous for them to keep me out of the cabinet, while leaving the SDP in. The SDP is in line with their agenda than I am, and is, in fact, one of the biggest reasons we have not been able to pass real reform. |
