Message | This will not pass before the election but is a much needed bill so we will support anyway. |
Date | 14:54:35, July 14, 2017 CET | From | NLP | To | Debating the Fair Representation Act |
Message | We support enlarging the Federal Assembly, but make it a prime number so that there will always be a majority. |

Message | I think you mean odd number so that there are no ties? That is already the case. |
Date | 12:19:31, July 15, 2017 CET | From | NLP | To | Debating the Fair Representation Act |
Message | There won't always be only two coalitions - to future-proof it, we should make sure that a coalition is always able to get a majority so that the government doesn't just grind to a halt. |

Message | How would you work it so that a coalition always has a majority? |

Message | Prime numbers can never be evenly divided, no matter the number of coalitions. |

Message | What is the likelihood of 5 coalitions all getting 101 seats? Very small surely. Currently our two main blocs are nearly equal (220 v 221) but with the APG independent there is always a potential coalition partner. |
Date | 12:38:20, July 15, 2017 CET | From | NLP | To | Debating the Fair Representation Act |
Message | Higher than 0% - we would support moving it back to 503 seats (prime no.), giving fairer representation while also making sure that coalitions can always gain majorities. |
