| Message | "Former President John Fredrickson had repeatedly stated he had a certain set of instances where an early election should be called. This bill he had written and had planned to release himself, but he lost the election and then retired leaving him without a voice to do so. So today I stand before the Congress to propose these rules for early elections. This would prevent the nation from failing into a streak of early elections leaving this nation unsure about each passing government. I hope the Congress can approve these rules, to bring order back to our electoral system. Steve Lawerence Chairman United Party |

| Message | My party believes that the elected congress, representing the will of the Beluzian people, should have the final say on when an election should be held. We reject the political class trying to throttle the will of congress with self-serving agreements. If a majority of representatives want an election, an election should happen - simple as that.
