| Message | OOC: I honestly don't know why people oppose this measure especially under the circumstances of having more parties than any other nation in the game. For all technically purposes, if passed and the next election comes-it's a white-wash. If someone could explain to me how this hurts any of us, please do. As is, those of us with seats will likely gain as will all the newly arrived parties. Again, it is a white-wash for all technical purposes. |

| Message | OOC: I oppose it because I'm ICly strongly pro-small government. |
