| Message | Pointless, adding more wasteful and expensive politicians, we would be better cutting the numbers to 100, more efficient and saves money. |

| Message | For once we agree...we do not need more politicians we need better ones. When the MSP was first established in Alduria we had 100 seats, and we also think that that was better. |
