| Date | 23:07:18, January 02, 2008 CET | From |  Freedom Party | To | Debating the The Enrichment of Democracy Act |
| Message | Vehemently opposed.Frequent election cycles do the exact opposite, they spend more time politicking as they have elections every two years. OOC: Look at America, the whole of 2007 and all of 2008 has been/will be dominated by the Presidential Race for 2008. 2006 was dominated by the mid-term elections. It was only 2005 that there was anything to be done without election fever. |
