| Message | Frequent elections eat more money and waste the attention of the public... The more frequent the election come the more election exhaustation the people have, which is bad. |

| Message | We oppose, the SMP is correct over the massive cost of running elections. OOC: don't we have one like once every six days or something anyway - is a month 3 hours? |
| Date | 23:39:16, November 30, 2005 CET | From | Modern Socialist Party | To | Debating the Election Period |
| Message | OOC: A month is 4 hours, one term is 48 months = 192 hours = 8 days. It would be 6 days under the new proposal, if my math is correct. IC: We still will support the bill if it goes to a vote, but we realize that it is not terribly necessary. |

| Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
