Message | We mostly agree, however we are concerned that the 6 month new election rule could possibly be abused. Who's to say certain parties don't consistently vote no on the cabinet propositions, if enough parties do this to intentionally to try and force a new election that could prove problematic. We propose the construction of an emergency legal counsel to serve as mediators if this passes and the new election feature is abused. |
