| Message | Why would 520 seats would work better than 545? |
| Date | 16:40:40, January 29, 2016 CET | From | Union der Dundorfer Alorias | To | Debating the Seat Readjustment Act |
| Message | That's a start, although the PRO does have a point. We will support nonetheless. |

| Message | Oppose. |
| Date | 21:33:34, January 29, 2016 CET | From | Ecology and Labour Party (ELP) | To | Debating the Seat Readjustment Act |
| Message | I would like to see a reduction of seats. What would be a good number? |
| Date | 12:31:25, January 30, 2016 CET | From | New Government Order (NGO) | To | Debating the Seat Readjustment Act |
| Message | We will oppose reduction in seat numbers. |
| Date | 13:19:27, January 30, 2016 CET | From | Union der Dundorfer Alorias | To | Debating the Seat Readjustment Act |
| Message | We are still in favour of a reduction to 125 seats where every Wladwriaeth/Flächenland would sends 25 deputies to Craigtref. |
| Date | 02:16:23, January 31, 2016 CET | From | Conservative | To | Debating the Seat Readjustment Act |
| Message | Small problem: need two-thirds of the house in support. I'm in for a reduction, but if the APSC won't cooperate, then we'll need to court the ANU - that may be difficult. Why don't we get parties' opinions on reducing to 400 seats. Would that be a reasonable number? |
| Date | 16:25:35, January 31, 2016 CET | From | Union der Dundorfer Alorias | To | Debating the Seat Readjustment Act |
| Message | To Conservatives: Sure it's a reasonable number but we should have an uneven number of seats in parliament to avoid hung parliaments. Like 375 seats and every Flächenland sends 75 deputies to the Senedd. I will write the ANU if they are in favour of a seat reduction. |
| Date | 17:02:06, January 31, 2016 CET | From | Democratic Party | To | Debating the Seat Readjustment Act |

| Message | We will support a small to medium reduction to an odd number |
| Date | 00:39:57, February 02, 2016 CET | From | Conservative | To | Debating the Seat Readjustment Act |
| Message | We are amenable to 375, 425 or 475 seats. We will support a significant reduction that is an odd multiple of 5. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
