| Message | No. Once the government gets sorted again (there have been a lot of changes in the past couple of years) then 2 years isn't long enough for a Government to implement the policies that it was voted in for |

| Message | The early elections have been every two years. If that isnt long enough then why did so many parties vote for it. |

| Message | We had early elections because parties were deleted, parties joined and then we changed the representation of the election and thus gave the new system a test (which, in the DFP's eyes, it failed miserably). However, now that we are back to a fairly normal time we shall have elections every 3 years. |
