| Message | In the current scheme we cannot put bills in almost half the time because it's too close to elections. This increases the amount of time we can do things. |

| Message | Like the other one: From an IC standpoint, we approve. From a keep-the-game-as-fun-as-possible standpoint, we oppose. We'll decide later. Either that or we'll continue to abstain forever. |
