| Message | Mr. Speaker, A total of 100 seats, is a major setback for the Democracy in Telamon. This will allow political parties with suspicious and malicious intent to turn the country to an authoritarian state. - Gustav Ederhult Leader of the Republicans |

| Message | "Mr. Speaker, The amount of seats we now have allows an easy path for a tyrannical party to gain two thirds. Reducing the number of seats can make it harder to hit the two thirds mark. This is about preventing the government from having power, which is precisely the goal of this government." - Ohla Ful Statsminister of Telamon |
| Date | 15:11:58, April 15, 2016 CET | From | Republikanerna (R) | To | Debating the Declaration of the Federal Republic |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Republicans would've prefered a proper debate, regarding the number of seats in the Parliament. The Republicans doesn't feel that 100 seats is the optimal number, the problem is that the Parliament can be locked with 50/50. |
