| Message | Problem being that the last few months will still be spent doing nothing. Only now it will be 6 months out of 24 = 25% of the time, rather than 6 months out of 36 = 17%. So we will actually spend more time doing nothing. |
| Date | 06:42:21, August 31, 2005 CET | From | Maroon Party | To | Debating the Democracy Act |
| Message | No, because the first 16 or so months after an election are full of active bill proposing and then it dies out. |
