| Message | Mr Speaker, While we appreciate the aims of this bill, there are actually really good reasons for the current set-up. The current set-up was designed so that there are even numbers for determining majorities. 300 votes are required for a majority. 400 votes are required for a super-majority. This simple system helps increase understanding of the democratic system, and increases voter turn-out Therefore, the court of Shades will be sticking with the status-quo.
