| Message | Dr. Webster, How will it increase stability to lengthen term times? Surely that will just lengthen the periods where a cabinet cannot be formed and lengthen the periods where cabinets can be formed?

| Message | Mr Leonardo, The point is that if we cannot for a cabinet then it is necessary to go to early elections. When a government can then be formed, it is important that it is stable. Dr. Samantha Webster Leader of Forward! |

| Random quote: “The people's war isn't just a war of destruction, it is also a war of construction. We will build new facilities, new hospitals, new farms. We will seek to improve the lives of the people around us. This struggle will be as costly as the struggle against the bourgeois army, and indeed will be even more damaging to the enemy.” - Comrade X, former Hulstrian politician |
