| Message | We will only support assembly sizes ending in 99 (499 is ok, we would much prefer 599 though). We believe the current term lengths for governance are adequete and there is no reason at all to change it. We will support article 1. |

| Message | If there is not enough support for article 2, we will remove it completely. The UPSC would rather 36 than 30 months, but we also believe that having a shorter period of time between elections will allow greater transparency and more democratic input into our nations political landscape. We also believe that the number of legislative seats should end in 99. Is there anyone else who would support 501 seats in the legislative assembly? |
