Bill: For an Appropriate Title for Head of Government
Details
Submitted by[?]: Libertarian Socialists of Endralon
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2286
Description[?]:
Head of Government Carolyn McGregor who belongs to the LSE believes that the current title for her post is inappropriate for two reasons. Firstly the word "Chairman" implies that it is a man who will always hold the job which is both sexist and, at present, untrue. Secondly "Commissar" is a word associated with authoritarian ideologies which New Endralon should clearly want nothing to do with. |

Message | The League agrees with your second argument. As for the first, since every western language contains thousands of gender specific words and phrases that are never regarded, all certain words like "Chairman" do is put a spotlight on the inane sociological insecurites of the people that decry them as sexist. |
Date | 13:00:41, September 20, 2006 CET | From | Zetland Party | To | Debating the For an Appropriate Title for Head of Government |
Message | Linguistically, Chairman is perfectly correct, as man is not used to imply masculinity, but is an older term for our race itsself - the ones in the wrong are those who are trying to make man just a masculine word... But the rest makes sense, so we agree! |

Random quote: "The Revolution needs to progress. We as humans need to evolve into higher beings through better moral virtues. And we can achieve that if we clean ourselves from the immoral. Those who go against the Revolution, go against human progress and must be freed in the most humane way possible. That is why we introduced the guillotine." - Maximus Robertson, former Davostani revolutionary |
