| Message | We would be able to support this if it were not for the unnecessary length of government term. |

| Message | While we are concerned about the idea of only the largest party proposing a cabinet, we have consistently favoured longer election cycles. The onus falling to the largest party will provide an element of order for the convocation. The vital 'check and balance' that will probably worry the 'inalianable rights' rabble is that it will still need the approval of the convocation, thus forcing the largest party to compromise if needed. Suppport, with minor reservations. |

| Message | Term lengths can always be altered at a later date, and emergency elections are still an option. |
