Message	I multiplied each province's population individually by 2 in whole numbers only. I rounded up when necessary. Example: Dirlana has a population of roughly 15mill rounded up, so under this legislation they would have 30 representative seats in the Senate. I�m open to suggestions � this bill is just something I through together.

Message	Sure why not? But the revenue needed to pay for those 661 reps is coming directly out of your party's treasury. I hope you didn't blow it all on campaign signs lol. Just kidding - I have not problem with waiting.

Message	We agree that animals should not be used for cosmetic research. I for one was the first to bring that bill to debate. Although after considering the issue fully, I deleted it. I found that I would not consent to giving the government more power of "definition". I mean whats next - Dogs have to be kept on at least 1 acre of clear clean land? lol Less majority rule, please.

Message	On this issue the standing of the Draconic Party is uncomplicated: The more delegates the senate consists of, the more representative it will be. We vote AGAINST.
