| Message | PCP supports maintaining the current legislature size. It ensures that each region of our country receives an equal number of seats in the legislature and provides for better equity in representation. Even-numbered legislative bodies are more common in Terra than odd-numbered legislative bodies, and we still almost never see ties actually occur. We don't believe this change is necessary.

| Message | A fine example of the Government attempting to protect its current majority. They reference the rest of Terra, however this is Gaduridos! Stop comparing this great nation to the rest of the World and stop failing your constituents by opposing this bill. |
