| Message | We do not know at this point if more proposals are to be added, but we will do as we said we would and vote in favor of making the Head of State also Head of Government. We may not always like the result, but we feel it may alleviate the hard feelings over HoG selections. |

| Message | We definitely support the reduction in term length to 3 years, for the OOC-game play reason that with the exception of this holiday-interrupted term, that is plenty of time in the game (although not in real life) to make a large number of proposals. Yet, if anyone wants to completely overhaul the laws, quota would hopefully prohibit them from doing the whole thing in 3 years; they'd have to win back to back elections. It might also help in that regard to keep the monthly quota as it is, but limit to 12 the number of proposals that can be accumulated. |

| Message | Although we agree with the remainder of the proposals, the allowance for teacher-led prayer would cause us to vote against the entire proposal. |
| Date | 02:10:31, December 28, 2006 CET | From | AM Populist Social Democrats | To | Debating the Preferred Thoughts |
| Message | We support this fully, only wishing more parties were active so that it could actually pass. |
