| Message | Mr. Speaker The Federal Elections Commission has written several comphrensive lists on riding in Hutori, and are capable of creating Ridings for anywhere from 15 to 150 Ridings per Province so it won't be an issue for each Senator to have their own independent Riding. Beyond that we are willing to discuss this matter on expanding the National Senate at length with the rest of this House.

| Message | "Mr. Speaker, In light of the words of the Senator for Carter City Heritage Hills, we have modified our bill to simply expand the number of ridings based on the arrangement of an independent committee. We believe that this size of the senate ought to be increased to better represent the wishes of the populace. As some certainly must understand: the royalist caucus of the liberal party received half as many seats as votes as a percentage. This is unacceptable." - Robert Bell (AH-AD) Prime Minister-Elect Leader of Alternative for Hutori |

| Message | Mr Speaker, By more than doubling the size of the Senate, we force a massive cost onto the taxpayers of this nation. Not only would the number of Senators who collect a salary from the taxpayers double, but the amount of staffers needed would most certainly also at least double. And guess what Mr. Speaker, they taxpayer pays them too. It is disappointing to us that our coalition colleagues are supporting this bill. Hon. Jacob Houston Senator for Glentingham East Minister of Finance |
