| Message | We almost are near a dictatorship representation, why not 100 or 75 or what about just 1 seat? Everyone are talking about cutting MPs because they spend a lot... This is a false problem lift by some parties. Since our party has representation in the parliament: the budget has not change a bit! MPs are representants of our citizens, do you think that for a population of almost 130 millions have 200 is representative of our country? In Valruzia, 1 MP represent 6.5 millions people. It's really low for our population. Increase is the way back for a real democracy where every voice count... |

| Message | I know we were involved in passing the previous scale back, however we will admit that we may have been wrong on this point. Obviously some of the new parties are not being represented, and it's a shame. |

| Message | I suppose I'm only technically voting no because this would just make it harder for us to gain any seats, and as it is, it's hard enough. I'm not sure that the amount of seats for a national legislature of a nation this large should be this small. Does the amount do anything other than affecting the amount of seats winnable, and making you have to get a much higher margin to get any? If that's it, then I don't see the point. |

| Message | though, I think 333 would be a good change in seats. It's not an especially huge different number than what we have, and it's easy to tell you would need 222 for a 2/3 majority without having to do any calculations... |

| Message | There is a point to why seats are uneven... |

| Message | You have a point, I suppose we were too quick with look at the amount of people. |
