| Message | To spread a chance to small party |
| Date | 05:38:54, March 27, 2018 CET | From | National Guidance Party | To | Debating the Increase Parliament seats |
| Message | There is no need to expand the number of seats. Smaller parties can become more powerful in a small assembly as they gain seats. Having a larger assembly is a waste of money. Who are we here to serve? Ourselves? |

| Message | Well, it's not fair to say that we are trying to give way for small parties like the former-ruling Cildanian-Gziri Central Party. It's somewhat laughable that they lost their majority to their "ally". |
| Date | 09:15:47, March 27, 2018 CET | From | National Guidance Party | To | Debating the Increase Parliament seats |
| Message | In that case, why change the number? Why spend more on a bigger assembly? It is obviously not broken. |

| Message | Why am I involved with this and it doesn't matter that I lost my majority to my ally unless they betray me. After all, its not I that decide who the Cildanians vote for in the next elections. Also, I support the NGP, we should decrease the amount of seats, less people to pay for even if I lose seats that way |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
