| Message | You are sure willing to have new elections. This is like the fifht time you call new elections again, i have to disappoint you. PCU doesn\'t see any reasons to call new elections: we have a good working government, a good president and there are no inactive parties in the government. So, i wouldn\'t like to see elections before November 2662. OOP will propably support you, because it has nothing to lose, while i hope SP will vote on my side, they are able to loose the presidency and i don\'t think they want that to happen. |

| Message | The parliament is not full, that is one very good reason. Current government is not democratic. |

| Message | But it is obvious PCU is not democratic party at all and they are trying to hold on to power without the support of the people. |

| Message | PCU has the most to gain, actually. Most of GDP\'s voters would go PCU. |

| Message | Not likely. Game mechanics do not work like that. Our parties would also gain seats, not to forget Whigs. |

| Message | current government has 341 seats on 464 parliament seats, this is 73% of the parliament. Even if all empty seats would be held by other parties it would still have a majority of 56% in parliament. So, there is no reason to hold new elections. Besides, it want to remember that not so long ago, OOP refused to hold new elections when both parties in government were inactive. But now it wants new elections because one opposition party is inactive, it doesn\'t make sense. The Whigs can off course only gain from new elections and that is the reason they call for elections regulary. |
