Description[?]:
| Odd numbers of seats in the chamber eliminates the (albeit rare) possibility of a staemate and thus is beneficial to the democratic process. Therefore, we propose that the number of seats in the House of Representatives be increased from 400 to 401. |

| Message | We favour 201 actually. It reduces costs and does not lower the democratic level of our nation. However, 401 is acceptable. |

| Message | The MIP would support 401 |

| Message | OOC: Sorry, I was going to add the proposal but I had a power cut in my house, and my PC's refused to boot since then. Works now, though :) Why? - To eliminate any chances of a stalemate. we can't tie right now anyway, unless for some reason only me and the liberals voted. - This would come into effect for the next election, where results may be different. |

| Message | (I say, I didn't realise the election would be so soon. It was held between me moving this to a vote and me voting on it, I think...) |
