If its actually possible to implement this, it could be a good idea.

Would be great if any mods can comment on this regarding it's practicality..

Also, making it official:

I doubt this is practical due to the changes in game code required (every bill requiring a check to see if the HoS's party voted yes or no)...

I wonder how hard it would be to implement? It seems like a simple feature...

[UniSocAll]

Maybe one of the mods can come and clarify if this is plausible?

Would be a great addition to the game, but unfortunately it's not something that we would be able to add in. I can pass it on to Wouter next time I speak to him, but it's not likely to become a priority.

[UniSocAll]

Fair enough, I found it a good idea and it was at least worth a try asking the mods.
Thanks

If you could, that would be great Jay I don't think it would be too hard to code whether the HoS party voted no, but it's worth a shot.

If this was possible, perhaps there could be a category where the Head of State has veto power, but the legislature could override the HoS's veto with a certain number of votes (e.g. 2/3 or 3/5 of the legislature, maybe?). Also, there could be limits to what he can veto, as UniSocAll mentioned before. I guess it could work in RP (probably not going to be added into the game officially), although I think Particracy would have better gameplay if Wouter has a chance to implement veto power into the game.
