| Message | The LP is opposed to this measure. We feel 300 is a fair number and increasing it too much makes it complex to get things done. In attempt for small parties to get seats, you devalue the seats so that what you do get will have little to no value. |

| Message | More Seats Means That More Popular Parties And Small Ones Get Represented Evenly. It Helps So Small Parties Can Come Into The Senate Easily. And Large Parties Keep Seats . |
