| Message | With a greater number of members, more parties and more constituencies will be able to be represented. Furthermore, the mathematics of 599 members works out quite easily -- 300 votes to pass a normal proposal, 400 to pass a treaty or Constitutional amendment. The number had been set to 599 for some time before being changed recently to 299, then to 400. |

| Message | It really does not bother me to expand it more. Though I do not see why we need to expand it again so soon. |

| Message | Basically, this expands it back to where it was before it was changed to 299. |
