| Message | With this bill, we can avoid 50-50 splits in number of seats for coalition governments, while making it nearer 500. |

| Message | This bill has no use, you can't have a tie with 505 seats, As long as it's a odd number, No Ties |

| Message | Obviously, but this makes it easier to calculate proportions of 500. |

| Message | ....Does it matter? Half of 500 is 250. A third of 500 is a sixth of a thousand which is less than 175. Simple? |

| Message | Well done, but the 5 extra seats complicate more than 1 less would. |
