| Message | We demand an explanation for this sudden call for early elections. The elections have just ended and have shown the nation's priorities. Hence,it is strange that CPK should introduce this bill. We suspect foul play here and condemn this instability regarding elections. Sheldon Burrat, Chairman. |

| Message | Thankyou Mr Burrat, In regards to your question we at the CPK value stability in government and we try our hardest to maintain it hence the reason we supported a coalition with SPoK just to provide stability. However, Kalistan First has been elected for nearly two years and we have not seen a cabinet proposal made to form government. There are positions still filled by the former SPoK and positions vacant from CPK resignations. We need governments which can operate and this one isn't. hence we called an early election. |

| Message | Our friends from the conservative party seem to be unaware of the recent cabinet proposal that passed, maybe because they were not in it? -President John Jackson |
