Message | The PMOS would certainly agree in a reduction of term length at this juncture. With the inclusion of more parties increasing the seat numbers may also be prudent. |
Date | 19:18:54, August 07, 2007 CET | From | National Anti-Communist Front | To | Debating the ULSF - Parliament Reform of 2440 |
Message | The MNP sees no reason to change the current Parliament arrangements. |
Date | 02:31:48, August 08, 2007 CET | From | Supporters of Science in Design (IP) | To | Debating the ULSF - Parliament Reform of 2440 |
Message | We would support expanding the Parliament. We would rather not shorten term lengths at the moment, though. Since they were originally shortened to 4 years we have seen all active parties play a considerable role, so we feel the system seems to work. About a decade ago terms were 6 years long and the Parliament (then called the Jawa...) had only 200 seats. The situation has become considerably better since then. |
Date | 05:35:16, August 08, 2007 CET | From | United Malivia | To | Debating the ULSF - Parliament Reform of 2440 |
Message | So it would be reasonable to keep the larger amount of seats but drop the shortening of term? The ULSF would be pleased with that. |

Message | The seat increase, we feel, would be the main reason to back this Bill. The term length is not unreasonable : ) |
Date | 01:37:54, August 09, 2007 CET | From | National Anti-Communist Front | To | Debating the ULSF - Parliament Reform of 2440 |
Message | The term length was our main concern, but since that has been eliminated we will support this bill. The MNP feels that more seats will only to better represent the people. |
