| Message | I actually really like the 100 seat system we have now. If we wanted to increase it, make it some really even number like 500. Why 351? |

| Message | 500 might be ok, but I still think 100 is better |

| Message | Me too, I am just saying, with 100 seats its easy to calculate how many votes are needed to pass kind of deal. 51. If you want more seats, that might be fun and I could be convinced to vote for it. But, if its a number like 500, then its an easy 250 being half, and an easy 333 for 2/3 Rather then 175.5 and 234 |

| Message | Eh, I have this weird feeling that the seats should be an odd number. But I can change it to even if that's the only concern. I'm just trying to reduce the chances of one party holding over half the needed seats to pass a bill. |

| Message | If that’s what you want to do, then go for it. I honestly don’t think its going to change much, it will be our current seats multiplied by a number. Id prefer it be 500. But if you want 351, id vote for that too |

| Message | So changed. Actually, I only picked a lower number because I expected more support for that. |

| Message | I thought it was "Lets do this, LEEEEEEROY JENKINS" but I could be wrong... is it bad that the sitting president of one of Terra’s most powerful nations just quoted Leroy Jenkins in a political forum? |
