| Message | Unfortunately, there's no point in even debating this since the SRP and ICP will vote together without fail. |

| Message | Let me say, though, that this is not "best for our citizens". It is best for the leaders, i.e., the ICP and the SRP. Because it means that the leaders have yet more time to wreck whatever they want on the nation and the citizens can't do anything about it. It's, in effect, as close to making Aloria a dictatorship as one can get. The Independent Capitalist Party is betraying its fundamental ideology, that of liberalism, that ideology which enables capitalism to work in the first place, in a mindless power-gaining frenzy. This is betraying the fundamental ideas behind the social contract. The government should have early elections when the people call for it, and the government should have elections at a timely, and regular, and short-term basis so that the people can be heard. The Independent Capitalist Party? More like the Independent Fascist Party. |

| Message | Thankfully the BTP just realised that this bill requires a 2/3 majority. |

| Message | We are not fascist. We made this bill long before we knew the results of the election, and did not expect to win by so much. The point is that it is for the better of our citizens that in times of low numbers of bills to keep the election amount low and in time of high number of bills to keep the election amount high. |

| Message | I would remind the ICP that they did not "win by so much", they won by an extremely slim amount. If the BTP had endorsed the DLP, it would have lost. |

| Message | As the PSFA fully belives in a government that is held to account by the peple regularly, increasing the term of the legistlature by this much is opposed by us. |
