Hi all,

What do we think of whether term lengths should be 4 or 6 months?

My thoughts: terms feel quite long as is when they're not broken up. This term we had a week of for a mental health break, and a couple weeks off for coalition forming. Last term we had a Christmas break, and again a government collapse and a couple weeks for coalition forming. But if there is no VONC nor break, then the term can feel like it rather drags on if it's a single Government for 6 months straight. With VONCs and breaks, we're probably fine.

On balance, I don't really think the issue is big enough to necessarily require change, but quite a few people have asked me to post this debate, so I shall.

What do you all think?
