| Message | After all Bill as of this making this motion are past or finished debate, the Freedom Party moves for the Grand Nationalist Party to initiate early elections ahead of the current four years. The current time between election is far too long for either the Democratic Front or Freedom Party to make any good in Parliament aside from making possible Bills that are entirely at the Grand Nationalist Party's mercy. Chairwoman of the Freedom Party, Angel Ross implores the Honorable Prime Minister Stephen to allow for the Jelbian People to decide weather they would like any members of the other two opposition parties. Thank you for your time. Angel Ross Chairwoman of the Freedom Party |

| Message | The Grand Nationalist Party achieved its support and trust of the Jelbanian people because at the time they were the only party that could be supported and during the previous election the Democratic Front and Freedom Party were still in their infancy. The Freedom Party, Democratic Front and the new Amelorite Party have proven a desire to help institute a change in the great United States of Jelbania both for the good of it's people and in honor of the Emperor. If after these elections the people decide that they still want the Grand Nationalist Party to be in its position of political domiance the Freedom Party and its members will bow to the people's will and allow the Grand Nationalist Party to govern with the Freedom Party's full support, otherwise we truly believe that we will live with tyranny by the majority with our lack of ability to do anything but offer a voice without conviction. For the good of the country we implore the Grand Nationalist Leadership to consider our request for an early election. - Angel Ross Chairwomen of the Freedom Party |

| Message | The last election, where three (3) independent parties contested for seats in Parliament, saw the people vote, unhindered and undisturbed. The result of which, saw the Grand Nationalist Party obtain a record number of support, without any hint of abuse, malice or effort to undermine the elections. It is with this support that the GNP draws its mandate to rule from, the same mandate we ask our esteemed colleagues to respect. The people, as you've suggested, saw assurance in the proven record of the party. We ask that you see wisdom behind their decision. Besides, not rushing things means there is time to prepare, and obviously, preparation will be politically advantageous to all parties. -Elaine Suther Spokesperson of the Grand Nationalists Party |

| Message | The Freedom Party is aware this will fail, but will introduce it, to move the motion through Parliament |
