| Message | Actually I think in Beluzia, they had a 5 years legislative deadlock because of inactive parties. |

| Message | OOC: Remember to add articles to your bills!! Furthermore, it's completely unrealistic to double the size of Congress from 250 to 500 just like that. Also, we can just solve any eventual deadlocks with early elections. I am NOT making articles for elections if they are held with just a couple of days in between. And besides, 27 months is kind of a wird number, don't you think? |

| Message | Changed it. 300 seats and 32 months should be better. |

| Message | We could support increasing the amount of seats to 300, but we won't back up decreasing the term lengths. Sorry. |

| Message | OOC: I do not think the deadlock of 3673-3674 was caused by a long term length. Tell me how the two are connected. |

| Message | The PWG will not support increasing the size of Congress. Quite the opposite, the PWG would like Congress to be reduced. |

| Message | OOC: 32 months is also a weird number. 2.66667 years? |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
