Message | We would accept a small increase in seats to allow a lower electoral threshold for smaller parties, but as every party which has contested an election currently holds seats, and with the government currently lowering the term length, meaning more elections, this seems like an unnecessary expense at this stage. |
Date | 17:32:35, November 24, 2015 CET | From | Bloc Liberté | To | Debating the Adding more Senat Seats |
Message | We feel as though this bill has been proposed in order to alleviate the amount of work the Parti Fédéraliste would have to do in order to hold a reasonable number of seats. The Bloc does not believe in easy rides! |

Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
