| Message | It was 665 so that there are 200,000 citizens to one seat. Increase to 700 is fine with us. |

| Message | Theory suggests (but I can't name the theory, so don't ask me) that the number of seats should be equal to the cubed root of the population. Which, for a country of Cobura's size, is 463. THe Social Congress will therefore be voting against an increase in the number. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
