| Message | I agree on this issue, as it is not necessary, but it is easier for both smaller parties. And more citizens are being acknowledged. |

| Message | We are a Parliament for all people. The current number of Representatives is quite OK. The citizens are not complaining at all. We have had 150 seats for more than half a century, nothing has changed now. OOC: We all start as small parties. It doesn't matter how many seats we have, they will get the same percentage with 75 seats as with 750 seats. The current election mechanics system gives seats by percent not by how many seats Parliament has. |

| Message | OOC: If you want me to RP complaints I can, but I don't deem it necessary. |

| Message | OOC: What I was trying to explain to you is that people will not complain about that stuff, it really doesn't happen. In the U.S., we are whiners and we don't complain about that. It really doesn't make any difference for small parties or for big parties. Percentage-wise, you'll get the same amount of seats. |
