| Message | Interesting. But I don't think this would help our party all that much. We could conceivably have divided government where the President is head of a government which doesn't include his party. In any case, this would hurt coalition governments. When our party first entered the Jakanian scene, government was divided in half between many leftist parties in a coalition versus one dominant right-wing party and a moderate party. CMAG was always head of state but not necessarily head of government. The point is: This is a particracy. Why would we want separation of government? |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
