| Message | One of the main principles of being liberal is people having the ability to be free, right? According to www.thesaurus.com a synonym of democratic is also free. Doesn't that mean that you would be going against the main principles of liberalism by voting against this? |

| Message | Reducing legislative and executive terms doesnt give people freedom or democracy...all it does is Limit the time the government has...to succeed and pass effective policies to help the people |

| Message | If a party is still popular when their term is finished, they will still be in power for the next term, so it's not limiting the time to pass any policies if you look at it from a democratic point of view. |
