| Message | Mr Speaker, We proposed the increase of seats to the House of Representatives to better reflect the demographics of Rutania. The more seats there are the better we represent the people. We don't see a need for an odd number of seats because in the rare situation where the nation is split evenly between two coalitions we can always have an early election. Chairman Scott Pearson of the Worker's Union. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
