| A amendment to the constitution to make the legislative process of Lodamun more efficient. the increace of 25 seats in the assembly is twofold to reflect the increasing population of Lodamun, and also to have a odd number of seats so that there is never a tied vote or deadlocked legislature. the reduction in bill numbers is intended to encourage parties to be more responsible in what issues they bring to the floor for debate rather than wasting time with petty bills which have no attempt of passing. |

| Message | We support the first two but oppose the third. The third confuses the legislative process. Whereas before, a majority vote requires 76 votes and a supermajority requires 101, with 175 members I wouldn't remember the majority and supermajority requirements. It makes more sense to increase the seats to 151. The requirements for majority and supermajority would remain the same and we would not face the threat of a deadlock. |

| Message | OOC: My question to you is: Why do you care who brings what bills to Parliament? Why do you care if they are going to pass or not? All bills have a chance of passing. Find another excuse for the proposal reduction. |
