| Message | What this nation seems to need is true democracy. To be too afraid to allow earlier elections we see as a non-democratic way for parties purchased by international capitalist companies to stop our supporters to have influence in such an important matter as the one proposed here. When Free Green Socialist Union comes to power we will abolish these kinds of proposals that prostitutes our citizens on behalf of international capitalist and imperialist companies and governments. Those who are responible for such a proposal ought to be courtmarshalled and executed. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
