Message | Ok. Let me take this one article at a time. Article 1: We'll support. Article 2: We'll support but we would love to see it even with the per year amendment Article 3: Fully oppose. We prefer the three year line and not the 4 year line. |

Message | Could support article 1 and 2. Opposed to article 3, 48 months (=8 RL days) is too long, we prefer the current period of 36 months (6 RL days), although we might be willing to compromise around.42 (=7days) if people could live with that. |

Message | I have no problem with a 7 day limit. That way, we will know when the elections will be held. |
Date | 23:55:45, December 30, 2007 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the More Bills to Propose and More Chance to Actually Vote On Them bill |

Date | 05:32:18, December 31, 2007 CET | From | Tukarali Graenix Party | To | Debating the More Bills to Propose and More Chance to Actually Vote On Them bill |
Message | We should actually think about shortening the term. This would put pressure on all of the parties to actually propose bills and put work in. |
Date | 14:37:08, December 31, 2007 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the More Bills to Propose and More Chance to Actually Vote On Them bill |
Message | But shortening themm would limit what the government can do in the time that we do have. |

Message | How many months go by when no new bills are proposed? Of course the time would be limited, meaining more gets done in the shorter time that we have |

Message | The bills still get reset after the election and we lose a day and a half when the election year hits. |
Date | 07:53:40, January 01, 2008 CET | From | JDW Tukarali Greens Party | To | Debating the More Bills to Propose and More Chance to Actually Vote On Them bill |
Message | removed article three which was the main cause of opposition |

Message | And as usual, it fails because both the JUP and the SV fail to understand that five bills a month and 10 bills a year does not hike up activity but reduces it. |
Date | 05:31:44, January 02, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the More Bills to Propose and More Chance to Actually Vote On Them bill |
Message | We are glad one other party understands the issues and votes against these bills with us. |
