| Message | Though the FLP often sees eye to eye with The One Cildana, we disagree with this proposal. Giving the votes the ability to vote very often allows for the best representation of the will of the people and holds the Parties accountable. |

| Message | Terms of two years will simply lead to unstable governments. But, if that's what you wish, then so be it. While frequent voting allows for better representation there needs to be a trade-off with the timing to ensure stability. |

| Message | The FLP draws its logic from the United States of America, whose ledgeslative elections are every two years and they are one of the world's most stable democracies. (and yes I am aware that the seante has 6 year terms, I refer to the House of Reps.) |
