From | Soviet Party (Trotskyist) | To | Debating the Call for early elections, June 2582 | | Message | Either you're for the 500-seat Parliament, or you're for the 75-seat Parliament. The law says clearly that Parliament has 75 seats. Yet there are 500 members of the Parliament. Therefore, either early elections must be held or the law must be changed. |

From | United Malivia | To | Debating the Call for early elections, June 2582 | | Message | No. The 75-seat Parliament will come into effect once this term is over. We cannot simply hold elections every time part of the consitution is amended or else we would never be able to get things done. |

From | Soviet Party (Trotskyist) | To | Debating the Call for early elections, June 2582 | | Message | The law changing the size of the Parliament to 75 seats didn't specify that the election was to be delayed. We're supposed to follow the law.
Would UM object if we proposed it after voting is finished on the bills currently being voted on? |

From | Soviet Party (Trotskyist) | To | Debating the Call for early elections, June 2582 | | Message | OOC: It's hard to do RP with only 0 seats, and I can't wait 10 days. And by the time the scheduled elections happen, I'll already be packing my bags. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to play Particracy during my vacation. |

From | United Malivia | To | Debating the Call for early elections, June 2582 | | Message | United Malivia is an agreement that after the bills currently being voted upon are finished we should schedule an early election to satisfy the democracy of our nation as proposed by the Soviet Party. As such, we also propose that no other bills are put up to vote until after said elections. |

From | Supporters of Science in Design (IP) | To | Debating the Call for early elections, June 2582 | | Message | OOC: At the same time tho, the players of conservative parties have been waiting for a chance to rule unfettered for months. Realistically, if we did early elections you'd probably end up with as many seats as I have now, and me, UM, and NMP will be stuck splitting the rest, thus ending our time of unquestioned dominance. Odds are another liberal or moderate party will arise before the next elections or two, thus this is really the conservative players only chance to run the country like this. |
