Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

| Message | I agree it makes sense, but 1 seat per million people is very few; I suggest 500 seats would be better. Seeing as this bill will be reset to the debate phase for the election we will propose an alternative. |

| Date | 18:29:18, November 01, 2015 CET | From | Kommunistiskt Världsparti (KVP) | To | Debating the Senate Seats Reform |
| Message | We disagree with this, becuase it can cause a 50/50 split cabinet, unlike the 179 system. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
