From | Social Reform Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, May 2157 | | Message | Why would anyone vote against this? There are over 70 seats not represented in parliament! It is undemocratic pospone elections! They must be held now. |

From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, May 2157 | | Message | You\'re jealous, that\'s all. I remember as soon as you were in power you tried to raise the terms to stay in power! What a hypocrite - as soon as the tides turn against you you accuse us of what you tried to do. |

From | Capitalism Now! Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, May 2157 | | Message | I felt 24 months was not enough time in power, and what about you, eh? Trying to make it that only the HoS can propose cabinets? I don\'t know about anyone else, but that tells me you\'re after more power! |

From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, May 2157 | | Message | I thought that that would end the cabinent wars that clogged legislation. I removed it after I found that no one else wanted to do it. You never removed your increase of the length of terms, you made us vote it down. |

From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, May 2157 | | Message | Too many bills up for vote now, early elections will distrupt our legislation. We can wait, you dragged it out long enough. The point of proposing this so early was to avoid the scenario we're in now of choosing between clogging up bills for vote or filling the vacant seats. |

From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, May 2157 | | Message | My original reasoning was "We should fill them before any bills start coming up to vote." If you could live without them this long, we might as well wait until the bills in vote are done or until the next elections. |
