The Prime Minister of Dolgava, Bonaventūra Krauze announced today her plan to initiate sweeping reforms, to reform the Dolgavan government, and limit the power of the Prime Minister. Her plan will be to give Reiksaima, and the legislature more power, by creating a second house of Parliament, and to give more power to the Dolgavan monarch. This may seem like a move to empower the monarch, and subvert democracy, however most Dolgavans trust the Queen and the monarchy, more than the Prime Minister, who holds too much power, and the people want to ensure that a politician like Toivo Meri, cannot take advantage of the position anymore.

Krauze's plan is multifaceted, and has broad support across her party. The first would create a second chamber. This chamber would be elected by the Dolgavan people, with members being appointed from the Prime Minister and the reigning monarch as well. This chamber, would keep the Prime Minister in check, by reviewing laws signed by the Prime Minister, and giving that chamber the ability to send legislation back to the Reiksaima, if they do not see it fit. This chamber will work with the Reiksaima in passing legislation, and will be the last rung of a bills ladder. As it stands now, the Prime Minister makes the final say, but with the introduction of a second chamber, positioned above the PM in the process, it would keep the PM in check.

Also Krauze has announced that she would like the powers of the Dolgavan monarch expanded, giving her the ability to fire any cabinet minister. Usually a Prime Minister could do this, but if you get a case like Toivo Meri, corruption would overrule the Dolgavan constitution. This way, a monarch can fire a rotten apple, without completely firing the entire government.

Krauze has also considered other reforms that she said she will "highlight at another date" but said that the reforms to make a second legislature, will give more power to the Dolgavan people, and less to "corruption and chaos". This move will solidify her campaign of cutting the power of the executive in Dolgava, and ensuring that checks and balances exist.
