| Message | We like the spirit, but 100 seats means the potential for legislative ties. |
| Date | 03:02:49, July 08, 2008 CET | From | Dranland First Party (CC) | To | Debating the Seat Act |
| Message | We are not sure of this proposal. Similar to the FPP, we like the spirit, and simplicity is good. But they are also right in saying that the smaller the number of seats we have, the less capacity anyone will have to get their legislation passed. We will abstain for now until we have come to a conclusion about this. |

| Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
