| Message | We'd be willing to rise/lower 250, but 100 is extremely low. It looks like only two parties with seat s are actually participating, so we may want to call for elections after this passes, if it does. |
| Date | 15:59:40, September 17, 2005 CET | From | Radical Liberal Party | To | Debating the Greater Representation Act |
| Message | we tried this bill a while ago. To many inactive parties for it to pass |
| Date | 17:43:43, September 17, 2005 CET | From | Classical Liberal Party | To | Debating the Greater Representation Act |
| Message | If we called for early elections would we be able to unseat the inactive parties? |
| Date | 18:20:11, September 17, 2005 CET | From | Classical Liberal Party | To | Debating the Greater Representation Act |
| Message | We'd only need the Region's Rights Movement (the only inactive party with seats) to lose like 4-5 seats and we'll have the 68 votes (2/3 of 100) needed to get this passed. |
| Date | 00:22:37, September 18, 2005 CET | From | Aldurian Communist Party | To | Debating the Greater Representation Act |
| Message | We will support an initiative to increase the number of seats. |
| Date | 01:46:12, September 18, 2005 CET | From | Classical Liberal Party | To | Debating the Greater Representation Act |
| Message | A cal for early elections as been made. The Aldurian Communist Party as already voted aye. We urge the Radical Liberal Party to vote aye as well. If they do, elections will take place. We only need the RRM to lose 4 or 5 seats to have a 2/3 majority, and will thus be able to increase the size of the legislature. |
| Date | 05:43:54, September 18, 2005 CET | From | Classical Liberal Party | To | Debating the Greater Representation Act |
| Message | Well, the early elections changed nothing. I will leave this debate open until a time when we have a 2/3 majority. |
| Date | 02:24:55, September 22, 2005 CET | From | Classical Liberal Party | To | Debating the Greater Representation Act |
| Message | The Region's Rights Movement has been inactive for 7 days. As such, I have reported it to the admins. Its account should be deleted shortly and its seats distributed in the next election. That means that we will finally be able to pass an amendment to increase the number of seats in our legislative body. |

| Message | The Region's Rights Movement has deleted. This will now proceed to a vote. |
