| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is a bald-faced ploy by one of the larger parties to squeeze the smaller parties out of Parliament! It is nothing more than a mean-spirited partisan attack on the will of the people, and should be dismissed as such! |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, This proposal would still leave Telamon with one of the larger parliaments in Terra. Any party that can scrape 1% of the vote could be sure to win seats. |
