| Message | No need to increase seats just so the smaller provinces can dominate more. The PP has ignored the principle of representation per person so this argument does not hold water. |

| Message | I don't really care what the seat number is but I would like an even number like 300. I just want a tie lol... |

| Message | You represent the the foreginers who yet have not seen what a real demacracry can do for them. And need to shout, I am typing, not even using my mouth to speak to you. Learn the differance between the real world and your mind, before they send you to the loney bin. |

| Message | You are an idiot. No one in the Federation represents foreigners as they do not have a vote. If anything, the parties that are pushing liberal and neo-liberal policies represent the foreign companies that want to exploit the Federation. This is a debate and you are communicating with the Assembly. OOC: Again, there is OOC and then there is IC. Caps usually mean shouting. If you want to be dumb and confuse the two, then that is your problem that you need to fix. |

| Message | An increase in seats brings politics closer to the people. The more representatives, the fewer the number of people that representative has to represent thus streamlining the process making it easier. The people need their ombudsman in these troublesome times. |

| Message | I want a seat increase, I also want an even number. I want a tie!! |
