| Message | We were going to wait until after the election to propose this bill, but we will be campaigning on it and want to force the other parties hands on their views. We believe a longer parliament will provide more stability and a slimmer parliament will help balance the books and deliver value for money for the tax payer. |

| Message | Last election: BDP 34.05% 256 34.13% BNP 15.69% 120 16.00% If this happens the two seats we have over the opposition will disappear and be given to the opposition, this is an attempt at electoral gerrymandering. Luckily, this needs 500 votes to pass. We are not supporting it unless head of state and head of government are officially merged. |
