| Message | I know you want seats, but 4 days (real time) terms seem impractical. There are periods of 4 days when no one introduces a bill or maybe 2 at most. What's the point of having such small sessions if no one gets to vote on anything or have their ideologies changed? |

| Message | It will weed out inactive parties and allow new, more active parties, to take control. That is better IG in the long run. |
