| Message | Mr. Speaker, Why do the current coalition partners intend or completely disregarding Lodamun's political system for a new one that would be less democratic? Regarding an increase in seats, I can only see it being proposed in party interest rather than in the inerest of the people. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Though we are the last party to endorse the expansion of the government, it has become necessary and realistic to realize that one person handling the affairs of 8 million people is unfair and undemocratic. We believe that increasing this number would allow for better representation of the people. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We will vote in favour of this. We accept the Libertarian Party's arguement - I must admit - you have convinced us, but we cannot support such an odd number as 325. Mr. Speaker, if the Libertarian Party changes the proposed to 500 we will gladly offer you our support. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We fully endorse this bill and will be glad to see ACTUAL democratic change - not creating yet more government positions and even more bureaucracy. I yield. |

However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
