Message | Mr speaker, We shall vote against this for the following reasons: 1 why would we want to restrict the amount of say in parliament? This is an old fashioned idea, a small legislature is easy to bribe, easier to blackmail I could go on and on. 2 the imperial chancellor sounds like a good name not the imperial seal-bearer, that sounds the complete opposite of a head of state. The name doesn't sound powerful or mighty, it sounds like somebody is actually trying to make us look like a silly, poncy nation in a big world. Thank you, DLP candidate, John Mayor |

Message | Mr. Speaker, We propose to lower the seats as there is no need for parties, who are the voice of the people, to have so many seats when there are so few in this state. Quantity does not equate quality. The Imperial Seal-Bearer is the Head of Government at the National Level. It is not the Head of State or even the Head of Government at the Imperial Level. It is a traditional and well honored post within the empire. Not to mention the title of Imperial Chancellor could be confused with the Imperial level office of Chancellor of the Exchequer. I yield. |

Message | "Mr. Speaker" "Well, well, when we look at nations across the world when two needs are meet, a large legislator and representation based on population we see that the people's vote normally equals the percentage that that party gets." Gill Gutt LPU MP |
