| Message | "The separation of two charges therefore important " What? How is separating the two offices important? Why should we separate the two? Things have been working well for the last three centuries with a combined HoG and HoS. |

| Message | Well, we hold also joined the two charges, but the number of the seats goes increased for one greater and better representation of the people in Senate. |

| Message | We propose, moreover, that only the Partys which have seats in Senate can propose bills with vote possibility, while the Partys which don't have seats in Senate can only propose bills for the debate. It will be task of Partys present in Senate to propose these bills and to make to put them to the vote. We still propose that only the Partys present in Senate can demand Early Election when the Government, and all the Partys that they acknowledge in it, does not have the majority of the vote in occasion of bills. |

| Message | "Baltusia Paraplu!" Then you should understand that the republican system that we have has been working well. "We propose, moreover, that only the Partys which have seats in Senate can propose bills with vote possibility, while the Partys which don't have seats in Senate can only propose bills for the debate." OOC: Then new parties lose valuable visibility. |

| Message | WE should understand that the republican system that we have has been working well, but we believe also that the narrow number of seats that currently is previewed from the law, is not representative of the population of our nation.Baltusia has approximately 70 million citizens. |

| Message | "WE should understand that the republican system that we have has been working well" OOC: Ignore the republican comments. I missed your deletion of the separation of powers. My apologies. "Baltusia has approximately 70 million citizens." Baltusia has 95 million citizens and 950 000 are each represented by one national Senator, along with representatives at the provincial and municipal level. So what? |
