| Message | You seek to destablize our nation! Why? I know the answer! The FLC is plotting treason! It is much easier for 75 elected legislators to die in mysterious accidents then 501! |

| Message | 501 is too many a number to the point that some legislators are not worthy for the votes they gain. The people are left with the choice to either choose a weak politician or not vote at all which also leads to the election of a weak politician. Furthermore, when one is not that visible, killings cannot be noticed. In a house with 75 legislators, one person who is missing or absent is very noticable. One more thing, in a house with 501 legislators, money that must be concentrated to services are wasted to wages. Corruption is easier, and also absences cannot be noticed. |

| Message | 501 is too much. 75 is too small. 255 could be enough. |
