From | 3wide.com Antiparticulates | To | Debating the Legislative Expansion | | Message | 255 divides by a lot of things other than 1 and itself, like 5 for example. The only way to ensure an indivisible vote is if no votes are abstained. With abstain as an option, there is no total number of seats that would prove indivisible, so the only number of importance is it's divisibility by 2. |

From | 3wide.com Antiparticulates | To | Debating the Legislative Expansion | | Message | We just felt it was a good mix between the regional population dispersion and the number of parties active in the nation. It made sense to us when we chose it. |

From | 3wide.com Antiparticulates | To | Debating the Legislative Expansion | | Message | Because this is a new and budding nation, we don't need that many representatives for such a small relative population. It will be much more difficult to get things done with more people, and also, the entire discussion has centered around an odd number of representatives, so why would it be 300? |

From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Legislative Expansion | | Message | I will agree with this now to allow more seats to be distributed, in fact I would recommend going up to a nice rouond number later on. |
