Proposer's case
The time for stagnation is over. By maintaining an anachronistic 48-month term in a world where a day passes in an hour, we condemn Matterhorn to inertia and our democracy to asphyxiation. Such a delay amounts to months of real-world waiting, which is the graveyard of civic energy. Shifting to a 6-month cycle is a vital necessity. It is the precise balance required to allow leaders to carry out genuine reforms while guaranteeing a simultaneous, rigorous, and cohabitation-free renewal of all our institutions. Democracy is not a privilege exercised once every millennium, it is a constant battle. Let us not fear the verdict of the ballot box, let us provoke it. Let us adopt this reform so that Matterhorn remains a living, bold nation resolutely turned toward the future.
