| Message | Labor says 750! |
| Date | 08:08:28, April 29, 2014 CET | From | Wildrose Alliance | To | Debating the Representative Expansion Act 3658 |
| Message | Due to the Conservative Party's inactivity, it will require at least four of the other five parties in support. |
| Date | 08:11:39, April 29, 2014 CET | From | Wildrose Alliance | To | Debating the Representative Expansion Act 3658 |
| Message | We do not want 750. We see the need potentially for an increase from 55*5 = 275 seats to possibly a maximum of 75 seats per region ~ 375 seats. We think that 70 seats per region ~ 350 seats is probably optimal. |
| Date | 08:27:26, April 29, 2014 CET | From | Labor Party | To | Debating the Representative Expansion Act 3658 |
| Message | 100 seats per region is apt. 500 total. It allows for the proportionality of votes to be best counted during elections |
| Date | 08:49:38, April 29, 2014 CET | From | United Alorian Party | To | Debating the Representative Expansion Act 3658 |
| Message | I want to know other parties views as well. Let's work from 350 to 500 if possible. |
| Date | 18:40:23, April 29, 2014 CET | From | Wildrose Alliance | To | Debating the Representative Expansion Act 3658 |
| Message | I fail to understand Labour's argument that 100 seats per region ~ 500 seats allows best for proportionality. Why not any factor of 25? We will support 400 at an absolute maximum. We recognize efforts to increase representation but ultimately worry at the cost of each politician. We note that when Labour tried to pass this last, it failed when I compromised on 400 (I think) seats total. I strongly suggest that as two-thirds of votes are neeeded, we strive to move in the right direction as opposed to being overly ambitious at the expense of tangible results. |
