Ashdown said the Council's system of rotating leaders who also have to run their own ministries is "a recipe for instability, inefficiency and muddle." He proposed a triumvirate made up of the Council chair and the treasury and foreign ministers.
Ešdaun je rekao da je sistem rotiranja lidera Veća, koji istovremeno moraju da vode svoja ministarstva, «recept za nestabilnost, neefikasnost i zbrku». On je predložio trijumvirat koji bi činili predsedavajući Veća i ministari za finansije i inostrane poslove.
