Bill: Call for early elections, January 2408
Details
Submitted by[?]: God's and the King's Fighters

Voting deadline: September 2408
Description[?]:
| We, the God's and the King's Fighters, call for early elections as soon as we can reach a consensus. The Sensible Parity prevented peace long enough, therefore we have to get rid of them as major party in our glorious country. |

| Message | "This is a mistake. Wait for the regular elections. Otherwise, all the bills you just proposed will be thrown back to the debate phase." -Cecilia Roberts |
| Date | 17:39:42, May 22, 2007 CET | From | Sensible Parity | To | Debating the Call for early elections, January 2408 |
| Message | Leader of the Loyal Opposition Ms. Ophelia Westworthy rose to speak to the Parliament: "By any reasonable measure, this government is a failure. Sensible Parity predicted this. Since 2406, the government proposed 47 bills. 32 of these bills went down in defeat. 14 passed but with Sensible Parity backing. The government only succeeded in passing 1 bill by itself. And now the Prime Minister is asking for early elections so he can govern for a third term. Parliament should know better, the people should know better, and Sensible Parity knows better!" |

| Message | We will consider withdrawing our support for GKF's presidential candidate, John II, if elections are not held on the regular date. |

| Message | And we will consider if we want to call for a coalition ban if you don't shut up about the Union. |
| Date | 18:00:28, May 22, 2007 CET | From | Sensible Parity | To | Debating the Call for early elections, January 2408 |
| Message | Ms Westworthy is saddened to hear this fighting, but she wants the government to know two things: Sensible Parity is loyal to the succession plan, and Sensible Parity thinks the government should move beyond banning parties. Thank you. |

| Message | " 'And we will consider if we want to call for a coalition ban if you don't shut up about the Union.' You mean there isn't already a ban on our party? This is most surprising. Besides, the CUP is almost universally despised by Hutori's parties, so we're not very offended." -Roberts |

| Message | The CUP isn't universally despised what are you on about? |

| Message | "There seems to be some heavy dislike for your party among the other antiunionist parties. Anyways, we now support early elections. This deadlock must be broken. Hutori needs to vote." -Roberts |

| Date | 19:16:15, May 22, 2007 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Call for early elections, January 2408 |
| Message | The CUP mock democracy, and laugh in its face. Banning a political party is just silly. |
| Date | 19:35:20, May 22, 2007 CET | From | Conservative Union Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, January 2408 |
| Message | Not banning a party, banning a COAILITION with a party. |
| Date | 19:48:24, May 22, 2007 CET | From | Sensible Parity | To | Debating the Call for early elections, January 2408 |
| Message | After some consideration, and even though our own polls say Sensible Parity is at risk in these elections, I will cast my vote in favor of asking the king to dissolve this government. May the people of Hutori vote wisely and may we have a government that gets things done in the next term. |

| Message | CUP: It amounts to the same thing. |
