| We, the Sultan's Loyalist Party , feel it necessary that we increase the number of seats in Parliament as the people demand a big government.

| Message | When the people require 'big government', that does not mean a big assembly, it means a great amount of government control. We do not believe that a proposed increase is necessary, and 500 is certainly far too large. |

| Message | Well then I propose we lower it at 300 then? |

| Message | This is more acceptable, but still difficult to support - three years ago we were 100, we're now at 150, now up to 300 - when does this unnecessary expansion end? |

| Message | Well a lot has changed in 3 years... We have 8 parties now, as opposed to only 3 when we moved it up to 150. |
