| Message | Not talking specifically about this piece of legislation; but in general, given the current political situation in Aldegar, there is very little chance that ANY constitutional amendment will be passed. There simply isn't a coalition that has two-thirds of the seats. |
| Date | 20:06:33, January 13, 2006 CET | From | Aldegar Liberty Party | To | Debating the 100-member Grand Council |
| Message | We support a reduction in the number of seats by nearly any amount, though we do prefer odd numbers so legislation cannot end in ties. But we will support this measure. |
