| Message | We believe it should also be shortened, but after the next election. We ask the Green Party to hold off on putting this bill to vote until then. |
| Date | 02:54:25, May 14, 2007 CET | From | Rutanian Green Party | To | Debating the Term Length Bill |
| Message | It won't take effect until after the next election anyway. |
| Date | 15:27:53, May 14, 2007 CET | From | Fascist Party of Rutania | To | Debating the Term Length Bill |
| Message | That's actually wrong. It would take effect immediately if it passed. We'd like to see shorter terms as well. It makes the game infinitely more fun. |

| Message | We want it to be shortened for the main reason of fair representation. We want the new parties to have a seat too, just in time that some maybe not most of the people will support and trust them. We experienced being a zero representation, and our party's voice is not heard. Through this more parties can step up and be heard easily just on the right time that they have proven their worth for the people and to the people. Harry Bourhns - GIC Secretary General |

| Message | So, everyone wants to wait until after next election? Is everyone okay with 36, would you like to see something shorter? |

| Message | if i were to choose, yes ofcourse but 36 is just fine |
| Date | 17:10:11, May 15, 2007 CET | From |  RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Term Length Bill |
| Message | I also agree with 36. |
| Date | 13:59:03, May 16, 2007 CET | From | Fascist Party of Rutania | To | Debating the Term Length Bill |
| Message | 36 sounds fun. 24 is sometimes good for really active nations because it means constant accountability, but it's also rather exhausting. We'd prefer 36, especially if the othe parties in government support that. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
