| Message | Yes, yes it is. And why exactly do you oppose it? Democracy not appeal to you? |

| Message | Its got my backing. |

| Message | I'm curious, why are you proposing it? Why make my term short when the Socialist Party is the most backed party ever? What have I done wrong this term? Have I not righted the wrongs of my predecessor? Especially when there would be an election 2 months after this bill passes anyway. I think you should justify yourself before anyone votes yes. And I am disappointed with the Kellarly and Christian Liberal parties. The only saving grace is that there is no way this bill could possibly pass without the Ruthlessly Random Party. |

| Message | You needn't be dissappointed, you will only lose 2 months of rule. Its not like its a massive blow. |

| Date | 12:08:58, June 10, 2005 CET | From | First Socialist Party | To | Debating the Democracy For All, Not For Some |
| Message | OOC: Then just vote no! IC: Yes, and they voted me in for 3.5 years. You are taking that away. The people don't want early elections, Sanctaphrax does. |

| Message | Hmmmm, very well, I will change my vote, but only for these reasons, this bill will not pass without RRP, who has voted the other way and the election is only 2 months after this voting deadline, so it won't make much difference anyway. |
| Date | 15:02:37, June 10, 2005 CET | From | First Socialist Party | To | Debating the Democracy For All, Not For Some |
| Message | Are you sure you are voting the other way purely because you do not want to lose? |
| Date | 16:15:12, June 10, 2005 CET | From | Kellarly Party | To | Debating the Democracy For All, Not For Some |
| Message | I think it will make little difference either way. I'm not in the running to win the election so its virtually a non vote anyhow. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
