| Message | Oh...I see what you're doing. It's bad practice in Dranland to do these kinds of bills simply so that you can "vote no" to them. And as I understand it they don't have much, if any, effect on your visibility. The mere fact you are proposing something will cancel out the effect of voting against it. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
