Description[?]:
| To let the populous led under the local government(s) elect and give power to the official of their choice for the office of mayor. It is important to keep and uphold the common suffrage of Cildanians nationally, thus implementing the ideology of electing a local government's mayor. Under the current law, the local government decides how the mayor is placed into office. While this may include suffrage and direct elections, it will not apply in all cases. Citizens should be guaranteed the right to vote in all ways, so that they may choose who and what they want. The appointed mayor by the government may not be what the populous' wants, and in turn, without direct suffrage, there would be no way for these citizens to ensure there candidate of choice by acquiring the majority necessary. |

| Message | Individual communities should be able to select the method they want for the selection of their local leaders. If City A wants an directly elected mayor, City B wants a mayor appointed by the local legislative assembly (parliamentarism), and City C doesn't want a mayor but instead a City Manager, it is their right to decide. It is not the place of the central government to dictate to the local governments how they should form themselves. Let the communities develop and administer their governments as they wish. |
