Description[?]:
| This is completely OOC since, well elections terms really are'nt suppose to be IC for the most part. Anyhow, the current 4 years is simply to long (8 RL days, without game glitches) and is essentially useless. Lets face it, even under the old system there were only bills up half the time, yet it provided a balance between not being to short and not being to long. |
Proposals

Proposal[?] to change The length of a legislative and executive term, in months. Should be between 24 and 72.
Old value:: 48
Current: 60

| Message | Last few years have been the exception. On average it's been a few sporadic bills throughout the entire time or a bunch of bills at once, but rarely ever a constant slew of lots of bills. Also, having the longer time screws with our visibility by lowering it since there is so much time between elections. |

| Message | We feel the experiment with every four years needs to be given longer rein. Furthermore, we do not believe the recent lull is due to the four year terms and nor do we think politics in this nation is boring, it is far more interesting than in other countries. |
