| Message | Rt Hon Duke Quinlan MP, Hutorian Conservative Party Leader, Mr Speaker, there needs to be a break in this year long government-less stalemate. I believe that new elections will allow the people to tell this House the government they truly want and will lead to a break in the stalemate. Any who vote against will simply continue the stalemate and show they wish to drive Hutori into the ground. |

| Message | (OOC: I'm not supporting this. You'll get your other half to get it through but i still wont support it, you can't simply call elections when it suits you, you need to work with the current situation) |

| Message | (OOC : Who says it suits us? We might lose lots of seats? Plus a HCP + ID yes vote isnt enough. What happens in the UK when a parliament has no government? General Election. Its simply conventional not opportunistic. Plus ive played this game long enough to know that election results are usually not what you expect. Its silly just to continue whenever there is no goverment. Elections are the best way of breaking this tiring debacle. |

| Message | (OOC: The only reason i'm against is because Labour wont be wiped out despite them basically being inactive) |

| Message | OOC : well they will hardly get any seats so it wont really be an issue. If they do go inactive then we shall just call new elections to fill their seats. |
