| Message | And we could have an election right now, seeing all parties are ready. The DGD says they have a few more bills to propose, while the ICP says they're "more than ready" for elections. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Will the Shèhuìdǎng shut up about early elections! My goodness they go on and on and on about this non stop! It is their own fault they have 282 seats and the Imperial Party has a large majority. They knew it was six year Parliamentary terms when they contested the general elections so why should the Imperial Party - when it was elected on a six year mandate from the people - give in to Shèhuìdǎng demands what? Two/three years short of its electoral mandate? The Shèhuìdǎng should focus on providing a decent opposition instead of demanding elections continuously. I yield. |

| Message | We are not complaining about having 282 seats; we expect to lose some of those when the next election is called. We want the Gongdang and the ICP to have seats to back their word. The Gongdang wasn't given a fair chance in the last election, and the SHD accepts responsibility for that. It is fair to them that we keep pressing. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I quote from the Bill entitled "Snap Elections" (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=338228), "Until elections are called, the DPJ will abstain/block all bills/proposals requiring a 2/3 supermajority to be passed". The DPJ - now the Renmin Zhenxian - have cast their vote into the Yes box. There have been no elections called and this is a Bill that requires a 2/3rd supermajority vote! They say they want the two present government parties to keep their word but why should we take the word of a party that does not keep its own promises. Now it can be proven that the Renmin Zhenxian are no more than mere hypocrites. I yield. |

| Message | This is a bill that we already proposed; it has something to do with elections, and it want it passed. We consider it an urgent matter. We did state their would be exceptionary cases; this is one. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, In that case, what about this Bill - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=338606 - more specifically Article 4. Is it an "urgent matter" as well? I yield. |
| Date | 20:43:15, February 03, 2012 CET | From | 鑫派 / Xīnpài (Xin Faction) | To | Debating the Parliamentary Term Act |
| Message | That bill was our own proposal. |
| Date | 05:16:58, February 04, 2012 CET | From | 鑫派 / Xīnpài (Xin Faction) | To | Debating the Parliamentary Term Act |
| Message | And don't forget that I said that this bill "has something to do with elections" which is why I voted "yes." Elections are going to be held in 3253 instead of 3255. We get the early elections we asked for. Thank you. |
