Bill: Call for early elections, July 2589
Details

Voting deadline: March 2590
Description[?]:
| We, the Constitutional Union, call for early elections as soon as we can reach a consensus. Again, we do not have a fully seated legislature. There is also but one bill pending passage. The people deserve to be fully represented. |

| Message | Given that the seats currently unoccupied are equally distributed geographically, we can see no reason to have a mid-term election. Maybe people will think twice before throwing their votes away on flaky pseudo-socialists in future. |
| Date | 02:12:37, June 11, 2008 CET | From | Liberal Democrat and Reform Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2589 |
| Message | Because the seats belonged to a party whose positions you opposed is no reason to deny the people full representation. |

| Message | It has nothing to do with our opposition to that party; in fact, we didn't really oppose them as they wee fairly inconsequential... We merely fail to see why, for the sake of 1 or 2 seats per prefecture, we should inconvenience the 85 million voters across the country. |

| Message | Democracy is not an inconvenience, nor are the seats inconsequential. You proved this when you passed the atavist measures - measures that would not have passed without the absence of those seats. |

| Message | We merely serve the will of the majority... |
