Thank you, Márcüs, for your confidence in me, I will endeavour to be a good Premier for the province of my youth.

I look forward to working with Opposition Leader Gary Cone in Vuode provincial affairs and will try to keep him involved in the loop for provincial business.

My agenda for the current session of the States General is to draft legislation harmonizing the Vuode Province constitution with the new federal laws on provincial elections and assemblies. These proposals will be announced on Wittenberg next week to invite comment and comparison from the other provinces, which will need to consider similar legislation in order to bring them up to code.

I guess you can consider this my provincial Throne Speech.

R. Ben Madison
Premier, Vuode Province

There are a few articles in Ataturk's Constitution which will have to be changed. One such article deals with the size of the House of Commons, we will have to come up with language to tie the size of the House of Commons with the number of Cosâ seats assigned to Ataturk.

The timing of elections must also be changed from two years to six months.

From my examination of the Constitution it would appear that major changes will not be required. Hopefully we will be able to get changes to the Constitution made soon.
