| Message | If I've added this up right the proposal is to have an election every 4 real days as opposed to 8 at the moment. |

| Message | Although I oike the idea of speeding things along a bit, I have to admit that usually I don't spend as much time online as I have today so I'm not sure if every 4 days is a little too frequent. That said, I would bow to whatever everyone else thought. One other consideration though is that bills at the voting stage are retuned to the debating stage when an election is called. |

| Message | ooc: honestly, right now the seats in the legislature are based on how new our parties are. this evens out as more elections occur, and i'd like to see the seats reflect our policies rather than who got here last. if, after that happens, we feel like 4 days is too short, then we can change it back, though i personally don't think it will be. |

| Message | I thought about it again and you're probably right. Let's mix it up a bit with a couple of elections and then see how we feel about it. |
