| Message | Restoring many of the key features of the democratic system of Vorona that have been wiped out by previous regimes. |
| Date | 01:08:36, February 09, 2012 CET | From | Democratic Vorona Party | To | Debating the Traditional Administration Act.3255 |
| Message | I agree and fully support the democratic system as well as the time span. Seats are a slight concern and wish it was maybe 201 or something higher but Ill vote in acceptance. |
| Date | 08:04:09, February 09, 2012 CET | From | People's Party | To | Debating the Traditional Administration Act.3255 |
| Message | The number of seats doesn't make a country more or less democratic. It makes it more bureaucratic if anything if there are more seats. Also, traditionally the number of seats has been 100-150, and the population suggests there is no need for more than that. |

| Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
