| Message | How increasing seats would make anything any better? |

| Message | The little parties (like us) would get a better chance of getting seats since if there increased, the seats will represent less people each, giving us a better chance. |

| Message | That's simply not the case Golden Party as bigger parties get more seats as well as the seats are based on the amount of votes. Proportionally you don't get any more power with 525 seats than you would get with 125. If that would be the case why not increase the number of seats to maximum 750? This bill is just nonsense. |

| Message | Well, let's say the seats currently represent 200 people each. Then when we increase the seats, each seat might represent only 150 people. So let's say we get 175 votes. Currently we will have no seats but, if this passes we'll get a seat. That is my look on it. Anyways, I don't know exactly how particracy works so excuse me if i'm wrong. |

| Message | well your power wouldn't really change but if the difference was between having 1 seat or no seat I guess having more seats would make it easier to have some vote. The golden party is correct but so is the Democratic party. Your just thinking about it two different ways. |
