Message | We generally support smaller parliament, which is why we vote for it, but why the number 301? |

Message | well, the number was just invented... 1 vote in addition to 300 guarantees, there can't be a stalemate situation with 150 against 150 votes. |
Date | 12:53:49, May 25, 2008 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the Changes to number of seats in parliament |
Message | Stalemate ensures compromise. Reduce it to 300 and we'll vote for it. |

Message | The Libertarian party has a point, the number of seats in parliament should be odd. |

Message | The higher the Parliamentarian to citizen ratio, the better quality of representation. |
Date | 21:35:11, May 25, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Union | To | Debating the Changes to number of seats in parliament |

Message | DR: The higher the Parliamentarian to citizen ratio, the better quality of representation. Nonsense, sorry. Representation means to represent certain number of people. Regarding your logic, the ideal state would be if one represented themselves, which is .... possible in small communities, not republic. |

Message | another fact: most of the other states (even larger than Aloria!) have less seats, just check the variable overview here... |
