| Message | i would encourage the new parties to wait and build up some ID so that they can do better in the soon-coming election. I'm afraid at the current moment, you would not have enough visibility to ultimately affect the turnout. |

| Message | We have to fill the seats though. |

| Message | We must have early elections we have to fill the seats, fill a new cabinet, and prepare a new budget. LSG makes no sense votes all the time. But LPS I am appealing to you, we are the lead party with the HOS position we however see the neccesity to form a new fair cabinet. If the Labour Party was still here we would still hold the majority. However you are trying to cheat us and that is not good neighborship to act such so. If you were like this we would agree to an early election and put aside political gain for the good of the country. |

| Message | We do not have this poltical gain in mind. We are respecting the rights of the new parties. If political gain was in our minds, we would have joined in and voted for early elections. |

| Message | And, indeed, once we fill the seats, the new parties (who would probably get low numbers in voting) would have to wait another term to gain seats. |

| Message | I am not trying to be a complainer but you are creating bill and putting them to a vote where only a simple majority of the remaining seats are required for the bill to pass, (which many of them might, as well as giving an unfair advatage the the other side of the spectrum). This is for political gain and it is unfair and you know it. They can gain political capital (the little parties) in another election phase better. So I am asking you for the sake of polite political practice that you agree to early elections. (And we will return the favor for your party, you can count on us for that in the future when it is needed). |

| Message | if you must know....the Labour Party would never have stayed on your side. They are usually a very conservative-leaning party. If you count the votes correctly, both ways our side would have held the majority. |
