| Message | That seems reasonable. |
| Date | 16:09:20, April 24, 2008 CET | From | Autonomist Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Increase in Senatorial Seats |
| Message | Needs to be an odd number to avoid ties. |
| Date | 17:59:42, April 24, 2008 CET | From | Coalition for National Unity [CNU] | To | Debating the Increase in Senatorial Seats |
| Message | We disagree. There is only a single new party, I see no reason for this. This is the number of seats that has remained in Solentia for years and the system works. |
| Date | 19:04:30, April 24, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Increase in Senatorial Seats |
| Message | Opposed... Solentia needs less bureaucracy, not more. Dr. James Campbell, CSPS Chairman |
| Date | 19:07:42, April 24, 2008 CET | From | Solentian People Party | To | Debating the Increase in Senatorial Seats |
| Message | I hope all members of the Heritage Coalition votes against these measures. Bob Harrison, Party Leader |
| Date | 20:38:38, April 24, 2008 CET | From | Meritocratic Alliance | To | Debating the Increase in Senatorial Seats |
| Message | I don't think the number of seats in the Senate counts as part of our heritage. The SRNP is willing to compromise on issues that do not directly affect our culture. |
| Date | 21:21:50, April 24, 2008 CET | From | Anarcho-Atheist League | To | Debating the Increase in Senatorial Seats |
| Message | I would like to see a seat increase, but not to 550. Perhaps 475-500 range |
| Date | 21:50:02, April 24, 2008 CET | From | National Zeus Party | To | Debating the Increase in Senatorial Seats |
| Message | By new parties i meant those that were inactive and then have rejoined us. Currently There are 11 active parties in Solentia, More than any other nation in Terra. i will reduce the number to 485 and then put this to a vote. |
| Date | 01:55:50, April 26, 2008 CET | From | Solentian Cosmopolitan Party | To | Debating the Increase in Senatorial Seats |
| Message | I believe we should have more than what is proposed given the new parties. I will introduce a measure to increase the the number of seats. As this stands, the S.C.P. doesn't support this low increase. |
| Date | 02:26:23, April 26, 2008 CET | From | Federal Republican Party | To | Debating the Increase in Senatorial Seats |
| Message | Mr. Harrison of the People Party must surely be confused when he appeals to his Heritage League cronies to vote in stride of this measure. It was recently announce the Heritage League stands for the traditions of Solentia, it's titles, national animal, etc. I think the comment made by Mr. Harrison shows how true the latter of the statements was. |
