| Message | Unfortunately it could also cause an unwanted candidate to reside in office longer than the represented public may appreciate. If this situation does not arise, and the candidate is still the best choice of the represented, then said candidate can be reelected, therefore ensuring that the public is properly represented. Is more time to create mutually-approved laws needed enough to sacrifice flexibility within the government? |

| Message | Well, Forgotten Party, that is a good case that you make. However, on Planet Earth within the Terra Universe, there is a country a know of called the United States of America(LOL), and they elect their President for a 4-year term (48 months) and they have the GREATEST nation second to none on their planet. I want the Commonwealth of Rutania to emulate that model!!! |
