| Message | No. I think we have too many seats as it is. To many parties come and go, and at the moment, we have excessive amounts of seats. Were losing parties faster then were gaining, the seats need to be decreased, not increased. |

| Message | Ok, ok, this lacked tact I admit that... Ok fresh slate. How much of a reduction in representatives would the PTU and BGP like to see? |
| Date | 03:02:16, November 10, 2005 CET | From | Zapatista Party | To | Debating the Parliament Membership Increase Act |
| Message | From 400, I would ideally like to see 25-75 reduction. It just seems more... correct. |
