Ashdown called next month's elections a "genuine watershed", since those winning seats in the various parliaments throughout the country will serve four year terms instead of two years as had been the case in every post-war election since 1996.
Ešdaun je predstojeće izbore nazvao «pravim raskrsćem» s obzirom da će mandat onih koji dobiju mesta u parlamentima širom zemlje trajati četiri umesto dve godine, što je bio slučaj na svim posleratnim izborima od 1996.
