| Message | No. Longer terms mean that the same party can dominate for even longer. |

| Message | But changing goverment a couple times a week is very tedious and boring. Better than the "permanant cabinet" or whatever it was called that was proposed earlier. (not horrible idea, but i'd rather do it this way) |

| Message | And at least this one would be a little more realistic. Currently elections are every 2 years. This would make it 4 years like in the US. Elections would still be pretty frequent. |

| Message | split the difference and make it three, it would still be in the lower end of lengths allowed, while giving a little more stability to the government |

| Message | We would agree to either 36 or 48 months, but only if we also change it so that only the HoS can propose Cabinets - whilst I may stand to do very badly out of this, I feel that it would be better for stability. |

| Message | NO i agree with the first proposal, but not the second |
