Bill: Constitutional Change of Head Of State
Details
Submitted by[?]: Marxist-Socialist Party of Hobrazia
Status[?]: defeated
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: December 2330
Description[?]:
| The MSPoH believes that the idea of Chancellor should be changed for the fundamental reason that it suggests the idea of an empire, or brings to mind the implimentation of that the state of Hobrazia should be imperialist in nature which is fundamentally opposed to a socialist ideology. We ask that the other nations come up with another name for the Head of State for our great nation. We propose; President, since we have a Prime Minister as Head of government. But we ask the other political parties of Hobrazia to negotiate a different name. |

| Message | We believe the name 'Chancellor' has no such implication that the MSPoH implies toward it and as such would rather maintain such a title. |

| Message | Why should Chancellor be more imperialistic than President (OOC: especially when looking at the real world now:-)) We will not participate in a change unless it has a socialist undertone such as Protector of the People, Socialist Number One etc. (the later being for fun);-) |

That's not true. OOC: The USSR, anyone? Or China's annexation of non-traditional territory, such as Tibet? |
