| Message | The current length of a legislative and executive term of 3 year is fair. There is no reason to change this now. |

| Message | The terms are alright... it is good for the parliament to renew itself every so often so as to properly reflect the people's opinions, but not too often that there is no change. We believe that both the current and proposed lengths are fine, and shall leave it up to the A.C.P. to decide. Though 501 seats? is that not a little too much for one house? Would that not be difficult to manage? 400 or 350 is a little more reasonable if a change in that direction is to be made... We'll see if you change that particular article before voting... |

| Message | I might, in this case, suggest that the parliamentary term length be retained at its current level, but that the number of members be changed in the listing to 401, rather than 501. Would this be acceptable? |
| Date | 15:48:06, October 21, 2005 CET | From | Aldurian Libertarian Socialist Party | To | Debating the A Bill Reforming the General Assembly |
| Message | We don't see the need to increase the number of seats. We will not oppose it, however. |
| Date | 22:18:26, October 21, 2005 CET | From | Aldurian Communist Party | To | Debating the A Bill Reforming the General Assembly |
| Message | At this time, we do no believe that there is any need for a large increase. However, we would be willing to vote for a smaller increase, to, perhaps, 350 or 400 seats. We see no reason to change the term length. |
| Date | 05:02:10, October 22, 2005 CET | From | New Aldurian Conservative Party | To | Debating the A Bill Reforming the General Assembly |
| Message | We shall change the number to 401, if this will gain the approval of the ACP. We do believe that having an odd number of seats would be good for the legislature in general. |
