| Message | Mr Speaker, we are not particularly happy about holding a seventh election in only one decade, but democratic liability requires us to allow the people to fill the vacant seats. We will therefore back this bill. Graham Breckinridge MP Member for Magadonia RFR Chairman |

| Message | OOC: But let's at least wait for the bills whose deadline is March to pass. |

| Message | OOC: Yes, I agree with Alain. It is probably best to let some Bills pass first. That will also offer our new party an opportunity to gain enough visibility to win a few seats (though probably not many) at the next election. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I share Graham Breckinridge's concern about the frequency with which elections have been called in recent history. However, I agree with him that in this instance an election is justified - and it will hopefully produce a clear result. President Rafael Duvalle Chairman of the Dranish Conservative Party |
