| Message | Mr. Speaker, It is my belief that this bill along with the amendment to the constitution proposed in the Conservative Party's Reforms bill to reduce the amount of seats in the legislature is the right choice for the future of the Commonwealth. These changes will offer greater stability for the nation and I believe they will foster longevity in our foreign policy. In order to strengthen our nation and protect the Commonwealth from foes abroad and within who seek to bring terror to our nation and disrupt the economic and psychological well-being of our people we must have longevity in government policy. Rutania cannot continue to be bullied around by stronger powers abroad that would use covert methods to bring terror to our streets, we must build up our defenses and protect ourselves from such tactics. In the interest of national security I urge the peoples Assembly to vote in favor of the Term Length Act of 4315 - President Winston Vernon |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We will support a reduction in term lengths if the DSPR will accept a reduction in the amount of seats in the legislature. |
