| Message | This lowers the amount of seats in Parliament to a dangerously low number. The more seats, the better the people are represented. The switch of the name also implies that we are more of a republic and less of a parliamentary democracy. The Labour Party opposes this bill. |

| Message | While 750 seats is way too many as well as a wierd number, we are open to the possibility of 500 seats and the name change to Parliament instead :-) |

| Message | Parliament is wonderful. We agree with you that 750 is too many seats and a weird number; 500 seems just right. If you can change the proposal to those terms, the Labour Party would most certainly vote for your proposal (not that it matters- we don't have any seats yet) |
