| Message | We agree that a more efficient Parliament is best for everyone. However, we're concerned that reducing the size of this august body may disenfranchise members of society. Parliament's larger size increases the likelihood that residents know their representative. It also further ensures that the representatives better know what their constituents need. This allows them to vote accordingly to those needs. We are concerned that a significantly smaller Parliament may result in a reduction of quality of service to Telamon's people. -Prime Minister Thorden Raxney |
