| Message | OOC: I don't need to explain the reasoning behind Article 1. All our provinces have equal populations therefore the current law has no effect whatsoever. IC: In order to end this political debacle of Telamon being unable to form a government we must increase the number of representatives in order to make it easier to form a cabinet. Simply by increasing the number of candidates may mean enough parties can win enough seats to hold a majority, 225 seats is cripping us. - Ralf Engman, SD Leader |

| Message | The fascist CPT complains about the need for a new cabinet but isn't willing to support any proposal which will make that new cabinet a reality. They are pure hypocrites. - Ralf Engman, SD Leader |
