| Message | Seeing as we have more active parties nowadays, this makes it easier - but not pointlessly easy - for everyone to get seats. |

| Message | While we accept it, we are afraid of regional powers. Is it right that a region of 7 millions carry the same number of seats of one of 30? |

| Message | Sorry, I picked the wrong option, heh. Let me change it... |
| Date | 19:05:13, September 25, 2005 CET | From | Revival Party | To | Debating the Increasing Popular Representation Act |
| Message | As the lesser of evils regarding how seats are allocated we agree. As for the seats we welcome the progression into an increasingly pluralistic democracy that the nation has been progressing down since the introduction of the multiparty system. |

| Message | You agree with this, and you complain that the country is a dictatorship. This measure is very much opposite to dictatorial, if you ask me. You won't vote with this because of some personal vendetta against the Tudeh Party? You are no friend of democracy, then. |
