Message | If you are American, football for you can mean your kind of football (the one played with hands) and if you are from the rest of the world, football for you can mean "soccer" (the one played with your foott), which ever your mind prefer - in this case, to make as many people happy, we shall not state which one. As for the timing of the next election fitting completely with the Union members timing, the three members of the union can negitate the best time and each call an early election at the right time as to match the other two members' early election call - of course, only after they have switch to four year terms as well. |

Message | Short terms are not healthy. They produce unproductive governments. We shall not support this. |

Message | I just noticed I had stated soccer beside the word football. Oh well, I guess its the global kind of football then. |

Message | The dilemma is: I am for the proposed length of legislative term (for the sake of the union) but I am for Curling and against Football as national sport. What should I do? Abstain?... |
Date | 17:02:29, March 08, 2007 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Constitution Amendment - Macon Union |
Message | Indeed. You should probably abstain. |
Date | 17:11:23, March 08, 2007 CET | From | United Forces of Decay | To | Debating the Constitution Amendment - Macon Union |
Message | We don't care about such nonsense like national sport, but it's a good idea to change the length of the legislative terms to four years. |
Date | 22:37:14, March 08, 2007 CET | From | New Democratic Party | To | Debating the Constitution Amendment - Macon Union |
Message | I am in favour of shortening the legislative term. Five years seems like an eternity. Football would be acceptable to me. I have no personal attachment to curling. |
Date | 00:58:30, March 09, 2007 CET | From | Catholic Workers Union | To | Debating the Constitution Amendment - Macon Union |
Message | How can you propose a term length without consulting any other member state? Your memo is absurd. |
