| Message | Herr Speaker, Whilst I could approve of reducing the size of the legislature, shortening each term is a move I could not support! Leonhard Kahn, President of thenBundesrepublik |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We see no rational reason to shorten the term of the National Assembly, in fact conducting the federal elections every three years would cause much higher expenditure than a four year term and those additional costs would exceed the savings caused by the reduction of the number of seats in parliament which we strongly oppose too. Anke-Marie Stier. Federal Chancellor. |
