| Message | This bill will cut the number of Senators from 700 back down to Aloria's historical 600. This will mean a little less money spent on salaries for Senators and staff. But mainly it will make vote counting math a little easier. 300/400 is easier to calculate than 350/(whatever the hell 2/3ds of 700 is). |

| Message | I think 250 or 300 is enough but I will vote yes. |

| Message | Aloria is growing, and so must those representing them. The fact is if the Senate is to be cut down to the historical (a word probably used to conjure the vote of those who like tradition) 600 then each Senator will represent more people thus making the election of the Senate less accurate of people's opinions. |

| Message | Even 600 is still a bloated amount of seats, but this is a start. |
