| Message | Mr Speaker, We, the Democrats, just proposed a similar bill not too long ago. We only wanted to increase to 305. If our bill wasn't necessary why is this one? |

| Message | You bill ran out of time before our coalition could deliberate our stance. We decided we were supportive of it but by that time it had left the floor. |

| Message | Your coalition voted the bill down. If the IDP and NCP were supportive why did it not pass? |

| Message | I still support this bill, just a little curious why our similar bill didn't pass. |

| Message | At first the coalition did not support the bill, but after further deliberations we decided that it could in fact benefit the coalition and Dranlandians. It was nothing against your bill or party it is just when we see a bill that we at first see as not needed we do decide to vote no on then when one of our parties reviews it further and sees a benefit then we bring it to the attention of the other coalition member at qhich point we discuss it and if we decide it may have a benefit then we, at that point, decide to support it but by the time we decided to favor your bill it was already too late so the coalition decided to make the same bill, but increase the size due to the surge of new parties. P.S. - The coalition would also like to have a word with the head of the Democratic Party if your party could have him send Gore Warick a private letter we would like to discuss a few things with him.

| Message | Mr Speaker, Although we don't always stand for tradition, Dranland traditionally has always had a smaller government which has worked successfully for thousands of years. We feel if it is too big, their may end up being chaotic coalitions with almost every party involved which would not work due to similarities. So to avoid chaos and to keep the nation strong, we will be voting against this bill. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, It is amusing seeing parties that 'believe' in a small government a choosing to increase it. You are lying to our people by getting their hopes up and changing their mind Max Gerster Labour Leader |
| Date | 17:21:43, May 28, 2017 CET | From | Independent Democratic Party (IDP) | To | Debating the Legislation Size Increase |
| Message | Mr. Gerster, No sir what is amusing is seeing you so scared of a coalition that your party is responsible for creating. It is ashame that your party was supportive of us while your coalition was in power and then once your coalition lost control your coalition tried to push us out by secretly trying to turn the GNP and NCP against us, which did not work, and you know at first we couldnt figure out why this was and then we realized that your coalition only acted like we were part of its group because your coalition needed our votes to pass any of your laws. Then soon their after your coalition started a campaign to slander our good name and then there was an election soon there after because our party members had lost trust in our leadership and that resulted in the conservative uprising in our party which then formed the coalition. Now with that being said when your leaders lay down at night and curse the ICC (Independent conservative coalition) just remember who is responsible for their uprising in the first place.

| Message | Mr. Gerster, This is not an attempt to increase the size of our government it is merely an attempt at making sure that all citizens feel represented. We realize that your party sees this and the first thing that you have is fear because you know you dont speak for the majority of Dranlandians so you are afraid of further losing control than your party is of making sure that every district in Dranland is represented. Gore Warick IDP Chairman "Mr. Warick was later questioned by the IDP Daily about what he thought of Corbin Powers' remarks and this is what he had to say. As far as we know everything that Mr. Powers stated was in fact the truth and the former "Socialist Coalition" did in fact, through their shady deals and history of lieing to start-up parties, cause the uprising of the ICC." |
