Bureau's Recommendations
- Adoption of a two party state based on certain conditions
- Adoption of a single five-year term for the presidency
- Rejection of the zoning principle
- Leaving traditional rulers out of the political equation: also rejected were diarchy and triarchy (respectively: civilian-military joint, and civilian-military-traditional rulership models). The report stated: "... as regards traditional rulers, we cannot see in which way their inclusion can provide a unifying force... they compete against the nation for allegiance, represent a force against the principle of popular democracy and are dysfunctional reminders of national differences."
- Democratization of socio-economic power through political and economic participation in all structures and organisations of power, leading to a socialist state
- Economic structure should be predicated on self-reliance, social justice
- A unicameral legislature
- Setting aside 10% of elected seats for women and labor leaders
- Mass mobilization as the cornerstone of a newfound political orientation
- The Creation of six more states.

Famous quotes containing the word bureau:
“If this bureau had a prayer for use around horse parks, it would go something like this: Lead us not among bleeding-hearts to whom horses are cute or sweet or adorable, and deliver us from horse-lovers. Amen.... With that established, let’s talk about the death of Seabiscuit the other night. It isn’t mawkish to say, there was a racehorse, a horse that gave race fans as much pleasure as any that ever lived and one that will be remembered as long and as warmly.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
