| Message | Mr. Speaker, How is it too large? Would the gentlemen across the aisle please explain to the Diet his reasoning as we aren't mind readers. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The IDP feels that a membership of 665 is too large and thus the reasoning for this bill being put forward. This bill would increase the population per representative from 1: 149947.5 to 1:199032.16. This would also reduce by 164 the number of politicians that are being paid for by the tax payers of The Empire. Julia Kaiser, IDP Chair |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, In addition to what our chair has stated, with the push for more federalism and the movement of power towards local governments that has happened over the past few years, many members of the IDP feel that the overall role of the Imperial Diet should be reduced to reflect the federalist wave that is washing over the nation. With fewer responsibilities we are in need of fewer members. ' I yield Josiah Wimbly, IDP member |

| Message | "Mr. Speaker" "Local Governments have no way to deal with laws, if they did the LPU would actually consider these proposals. But local governments are just handed the nation with not way to decide, it's pure madness!" Patty Genn Leader of the LPU and HM Loyal Opposition |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, As power is devolved back to the local governments, the Duchies are empowered to make decisions for themselves. They are making their own local laws in regards to the powers that are being passed back to them. We can not have a eternal all powerful Imperial Government if this Empire is to continue to prosper.
