MessageIf 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.

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

MessageThe 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?...

MessageWe 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.

ToDebating the Constitution Amendment - Macon Union
MessageI 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.

MessageHow can you propose a term length without consulting any other member state? Your memo is absurd.
