| Message | The SDLP/CVB agrees that a name change may be appropriate, but as it stands only two parties have seats in the Senate and 500 is not a prohibitively small amount of seats. With the devolved nature of Egelion, most governmental functions are delegated to the provinces as it is and having more federal represntatives is unnecessary. |
