| Message | members of the Assembly, Does this proposal imply just a name change in one half of the Kalopian Head of State as we believe it does? If so, we could agree on it. Regarding legislature duration, it is a proven fact that 4 years is, many times, not enough to develop strong policies |

| Message | 4 years is quite enough time to implement your policies. But I forgot that Axia Patrida is an ultra conservative party, which wants people to vote only two times in 10 years! That's a preaty authoritarian and anti-democratic stance against Kalopians. Secondly, yeah Archon is an old title, given the fact that means the person who is in power. It's a matter of democratic symbolism, we have a parliamentary republic, not a totalitarian regime! |

| Message | Worthy Homeland ideology is clearly stated. We support LGBT, minorities and women's rights, as well as pushing for a clear separation between the State and religion. We would like to hear how Enosi Kentrou believes that these issues make us "ultra conservative" as they state. Regarding the name of "Archon", we have said that we can support a name change, so there is no need to try and attack our party for this specific reason. We recommend Enosi Kentrou members to cool down their parliamentary tone. Our question was more focused in the issue of our current HoS bicephaly, which we believe works perfectly fine. If this is kept, we have no issue in this name change, if proposed separately |

| Message | Dear colleagues, Anipotakti Aristera finds this bill necessary because it is a matter of democratic symbolism, as Enosi Kentrou mentioned previously. However, we believe our national assembly's name should remain as it is. Despite our disagreement with Article 2, we will vote in favor of it. Ioanna Stergiou, Archon of Kalopia |
