| Message | It is true there are nine parties but it will take more time for things to pass, since the votes will be more divided between many parties. I don't disagree but I don't agree either, I am in the middle. |

| Message | LLP: Could you explain why? I can't change the way the bill is formed unless you tell me what it is you do not support. TLP: Let's say that we transform to 200 seats and the precentages we're the same as this time. You would have 64 seats, LLP you would have 40. If it was a normal bill it would need 100 seats to pass and you would have passed by 4, but you see IRP would have approx. 1 seat instead of zero so it would give IRP more to put into the elections, if LNP does not vote like I've seen for quite a while, though he might still get 1 seat it would make sure that we are never tied in votes and someone really does win. It doesn't really divide more. It's just easier to see the precentages that you get. Things would get pass at about the same speed as now. |

| Message | This is a slippery slope. We used to have 100 seats. Then the cries came for "more, more, more." Now we propose adding another 50 seats? Soon we'll have 750 seats. |

| Message | As we have said before we don't agree but we don't disagree either. PI, you make a lot of sense but URP has a good point, when are we going to stop. The parties who do not have seats is because they don't get involved enough. |

| Message | URP we understand the reasoning there. We much prefer 100 to 150 but we aren't sure if we'd get the number of votes to pass it if we take the number down rather than up. |

| Message | We would support lowering the numbers, but we think there is enough seats in congress and will not support any bill adding extra seats |

| Message | We think we are good where we are right now. |
