Message | Mr Speaker, Although we disagree with some of the symbolism, and the increase of seats in this act, we realise that in order to dissolve this feudal monarchy, republicans of every sort must stand together. Therefore we support this act, and hope that, in the future, we might improve upon it. Andreas Cobb, Chairman, Workers' Popular Alliance |

Message | We welcome the support of the WPA. We note the bills seat increase is proposed to ensure that each voter has easier access to a representative. We think this is essential in a republic. We also hope the larger caucuses result in greater diversity of viewpoints. Andreas Cobb MP and Leader of FRP Constitutional Reform Committee |
