| Message | Why should we pay the salary to so many politicians? The system is proven to work for smaller parties as well, and even if it's eventually going to degrade our parties to minor forces I think plurality has the priority. |
| Date | 09:54:36, September 22, 2005 CET | From | Tudeh Party of Quanzar | To | Debating the Endless Politicians |
| Message | I'd support an increase to something like 351 from 251, but not to 750 straight away. |

| Random fact: "Treaty-locking", or ratifiying treaties that completely or nearly completely forbid any proposals to change laws, is not allowed. Amongst other possible sanctions, Moderation reserves the discretion to delete treaties and/or subject parties to a seat reset if this is necessary in order to reverse a treaty-lock situation. |
