| Message | The party has realised that while it would like there to be 750, this will never happen. therefore we propose 409 in order so that representation ratio becomes 100,000:1 |

| Message | Oh and I meant to say that while this party definitely does support the other bill, it does not think that it will pass either. |

| Message | We already have far too much bureaucracy in our legislature. We need to reduce the size of the Congress, not increase it. |

| Message | This is just going to keep going until we reach 750 isnt it? 100,000 though is good. |
| Date | 21:10:56, June 20, 2005 CET | From | People's Progressive Party | To | Debating the Population Proportion (One Hundred Thousand) Act |
| Message | Well currently its about 118,000 to one. Given that we just reapportioned the seats in the last election, lets keep it the same for one more at least. |
| Date | 21:11:30, June 20, 2005 CET | From | People's Progressive Party | To | Debating the Population Proportion (One Hundred Thousand) Act |
| Message | That is my rationale for voting no, just don't feel comfortable with constantly shifting seats. |
