I have two ideas for laws, and would like to throw them out there for the candidates.
I believe our laws need to be strengthened in two regards:
1. I believe their should be a cabinet accountability law, where all votes made by cabinet are reported by the Prime Minister to the public, including who voted for and against a certain issue.
2. I believe their should be a conflict of interest disclosure guideline, whereby those who have nations which assume cabinet or governmental posts in other regions would have to disclose those conflicts to the public should they choose to run for office, or should they in fact already be in office.
What do the candidates think of these two proposals, and if elected, will they work towards the drafting and implementation of those laws?

In the past we have strengthened our constitution to the point that it covers most of the bases that we need covered. The first term of the new Cabinet was spent dealing with many issues that had not been dealt with in the past. THe 2 proposals for new laws are very valid and I will work towards implement thos laws if elected.
I feel the conflict of interest disclosure is the most important of the two because it could possibly comprimise national security if the wrong notion were to be elected. Obviously this law would not prevent nations from infiltrating Cabinet it would be a law on how to deal with breach of the law. It would also prevent Cabinet Members with a Conflict of interest from influencing an issue.
As to drafting a law as to who voted for and against a specific issue would be a good idea so that the members are voting for or against a certain issue. Some issues are discussed behind closed doors however those discussions should be kept behind closed doors but the ultimate vote could be reported to the members so that each member would have to answer to the members.
As I said earlier I will work together with cabinet to draft some new new legislation that will strengthen this nation.
