| Message | My Party is pro having a smaller parliament, but 308? Isn't that kind of arbitrary? |

| Message | Well instead of giving parties load of seats, it is almost (in my opinion) mis representation. We suggest (in this part of the bill) that 308-350 is a fair size. This also gives a chance of a majority government, something Alorians have never had the pleasure of, and it stops whinnying "we need elections 24/7" cry babies (not pointing fingers) |

| Message | This actually hurts smaller parties. Never mind that 308 is something of an arbitrary figure. |

| Message | If there's a movement afoot to shrink parliament, we can maybe get on board. But not by this much. Historically, Aloria's Senate had 600 seats. We *might* get on board a proposal to cut Parliament back down to 600-650 seats. |
