| Message | Note that currently you can change the term length like you can change any other variable: by achieving more Yes than No votes by the deadline. However later I will make some variables (such as term length) Constitutional variables which will require something like a two-thirds majority. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
