| Message | We support this, not beacouse we have more parties but becouse we have a large population and at the moment only a few to represent all of them. |
| Date | 19:31:28, May 28, 2012 CET | From | People's Party - Republican Democrats | To | Debating the Legislature Expansion |
| Message | While they may possibly be good arguments for increasing the size of the People's Assembly, the number of parties standing for election is not one of them. Parliamentary election are a competition between parties for a limited number of seats, not about handing out seats to all comers. |
| Date | 01:58:35, May 29, 2012 CET | From | Radical Party | To | Debating the Legislature Expansion |
| Message | We are in favour of a larger legislature, but feel this proposal is still too little, therefore we abstain & call on all parties favouring the expansion of the legislature to vote for our alternative bill. |
