| Message | Mr Deputy Speaker, (new speaker needs appointment) We do plan to reduce this but will not do so currently. We are not satisfied that any other party is able to control Hobrazia. We are democratic, and we do want democracy. We allow all aspects of democratic society |

| Message | Mr Deputy Speaker, What tells the Conservatives that they get to choose who runs this nation? It is the people that run this nation Let them say they are afraid that they will lose the next elections. |

| Message | Mr Deputy Speaker, I would be lying if I said I am afraid we will lose. We just won't and that's a fact. I set out to serve one more term without disruption from the opposition. I don't have to have them in the cabinet or give them pm questions. I only do it to show the people that they were right to vote us in. Let me just finish my work until 4001. I will then retire and resign and then we shall shorten the term. Unless you give me a good reason this is what I am doing |

| Message | Mr Deputy Speaker Mr Steiner needs to understand that not everything is about him. This bill is not about you,if you are serving till 4001 then pass the bill as it shall not affect you. We need to reduce the limits and we shall do it now. We do not care whether you resign,retire or anything that is up to you and your party but we are calling for a reduction in term limits immediately. You should remember that you only came to power again because we agreed to hold elections otherwise we would still be greedily in power as you are trying to fix yourself. |

| Message | Mr Deputy Speaker, The Conservatives should be further assured that they are going to get less than 50% of the seats this time round. |

| Message | Mr deputy speaker, I am not wanting to make myself and my party look bad. I simply want what's best for the people. The fact is that I am not behaving outside of the law. I am behaving in the law. This term I have is the law |

| Message | Mr Deputy Speaker, And therefore you need to understand this is not about you. It is for the long term good of the people. We need shorter terms. You are the one who actually was saying we created the long terms well we are reducing them and we are seeing who is dictator. |

| Message | These threats are from a man who think the people want him. They don't they wanted my party and the have my party. Dwell on the fact you aren't what was asked for by the people! |

| Message | Mr Deputy Speaker, I am appalled that the Conservative Party think it fair to soil your name by not addressing you, as is the law. But furthermore, we agree wholeheartedly with the Kushites on this. The Conservative Party have become corrupted with greed and desire, even if they were ever free from these things. Whether or not they were elected by the people, their aims, as they have completely shown, are not for the people, but rather for themselves. The Conservatives continue to lie - they state that they want shorter term limits. But now, they say that they will continue with the longer terms until their government can do what it wants to. If the Conservative Government truly wants freer democracy, then ban your bill which lowers the term limit but adds terrible issues in pollution and paramilitaries, and vote for this bill. I further agree that your party shall not be seeing control of Hobrazia for much longer. |
