| Message | A Majority of parties will agree with this motion - however, it will, in all likelyhood, be blocked by the JLC as their 71 senators can block any change. |
| Date | 15:09:17, June 17, 2008 CET | From | Progressive Liberal Party | To | Debating the Members of Assembly - ACT |
| Message | Don't be such a pessimist. We support this change as the population of Cildania has grown in more than 20 million people since the last adjustment of the Senate membership. |
| Date | 05:44:29, June 18, 2008 CET | From | Justice League of Cildania | To | Debating the Members of Assembly - ACT |
| Message | In the interest of small government the number of senate seats should be reduced, not increased. |
| Date | 05:58:44, June 18, 2008 CET | From | Progressive Liberal Party | To | Debating the Members of Assembly - ACT |
| Message | We are in for a small government, but population growth is making the Senate less representative each day. We'd like to have about one Senator per million people. |
| Date | 14:25:36, June 18, 2008 CET | From | Justice League of Cildania | To | Debating the Members of Assembly - ACT |
| Message | As we have been experiencing lately, representation, no matter how blunt or finely sharpened, can become an instrument of destruction in mauling the rights of other individuals. What this nation needs is far less democracy, and far more constitutionally protected rights. |
