We want to ensure that as many people of Likatonia are being fully represented, to do this we are proposing that the senate to be increased from 99 members to 150 members. With 150 members in the senate, around 664,795 people in Likatonia will be represented by 1 minister, with this proposal in place around 60% more people in Likatonia will be represented by their ministers.
