| Message | Well, if people just want to do this for fun, I'll go along with it, but on the serious side I would have to say no. Putting too many makes the government too large and causes taxes to be higher. |

| Message | You just want to gain a lot of seats, right? If there were population-based representation.... |

| Message | IP: yes that is true, but stuff like that has not been implented, so i see no reason. PMP: Eh? Even if i gain 200 or so seats, that would not make me any closer to being elected HOS. This bill, has no RP merit, and until taxes and government size matters......i see no reason not to increase it. |

| Message | This will just mean more taxes but will make constituencys smaller and make less work for the members of Parliment. |

| Message | Yes, but it looks so much cooler to have 200 seats.... And constituencies will still be the same as each region despite population is still equal. Larger parliaments are actually less efficient as more petty arguments arise and more conflicting personalities are present. |

| Message | We are the parliament though. =) How much more argumentative can we get? =D |

| Message | Sounds good to me. It'll also help us have more parties in the system without getting so many of these infernal ties. |

| Message | Yeah, but I'm talking realistically and that guy said it would decrease. It will stay the same, in a real system it would increase. |
| Date | 03:16:43, August 10, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Marxist Party | To | Debating the Seat Maxing |
| Message | Listen, i don't think there should be more seats until all votes are equal. |

| Message | IRL, people's opinions don't change every other year as well. ;p Since we are the parliament, there is no inherent problem with this....right now this is all flavor. if later, more seats will affect this nation in any bad way, we shall immedialty lower the amount. But right now i am taking about the now. |

| Message | Yes, but the power of those people's opinions do. Besides, some people realize they are mistaken. Nudge, Nudge, vote for the People! |
