| Message | This will make it impossible for some regions in Beluzia to be heard, since more popolous regions will simply add their vote count to themselves and elect the same representative of the popolous region while removing the representative of the smaller region. |
| Date | 22:56:23, May 25, 2018 CET | From | United Front of Beluzia | To | Debating the Congress Size Reduction Act (4398) - Liberty |
| Message | For once we agree with Beluzia. We accept and agree that the number should be decreased but not by such a substantial amount. |

| Message | Disappointed this didn't go through. We have far too many politicians in Beluzia. What number would you like to reduce it to? BR, not sure that is how it works. All regions have the same % representation, regardless of size. We remind our collegues this is what white paper debates are for. These issues could have been addressed much earlier. |

| Message | UFOB expressed their concerns during the White Paper Debate as well as privately with the Liberty Party. Decreasing the number of seats by more than 50% will leave our parliament in shambles. This bill, wanted too much change far to fast and we will continuously vote against it until this number becomes one that is fairer to the people of Beluzia. |
