| Message | Is there anything wrong with 175? |
| Date | 17:19:48, June 20, 2005 CET | From | Free Reform Coalition (FRP) | To | Debating the Increase Seats |
| Message | not really anything wrong, but we're just wondering what the rationale for it is. did you just pick that number or did you figure it based on some sort of calculation of the distribution of population? |
| Date | 17:55:34, June 20, 2005 CET | From | Free Reform Coalition (FRP) | To | Debating the Increase Seats |
| Message | also we would not really support an increase in the number of seats for central government untill the population has reached 50 million people. we believe government should be as small as possible and that local government should play a stronger role. |
| Date | 06:32:59, June 21, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Increase Seats |
| Message | The majority of the parties in the Assemby cannot be trusted with the governing of the people. We should not put our faith in the government but rather look toward the chuch for guidance. When more members of this body have accepted that they are just the terrestrial guides for the citizens we may be able to support such a measure until then the Assemby should be reduced. |
