(OOC: As soon as we have an election, it seems like September of the following year is upon us almost immediately, and we've got to start putting bills in again. Some of us have day jobs! :P) |

| Message | This bill requires two thirds support, and whilst we would like to see the term extended for the benefit of all parties (it's only extended to 3 years, from 2), it's only going to be worthwhile if most parties want this extra time to get bills organised and debate other proposals. Our support will not be bought and sold like a common good - we will vote on each bill accordingly: prostituting our power was not part of our constituent's mandate. |

| Message | That's true. Perhaps it should have been a deal proposed behind closed doors though. *smiles* |
