MessageWe think it is fair to have a larger parliament in a nation of 85 million citizens. Most countries of 50 million or more find that 500 is a bare minimum to allow sufficient personnel for the complexities of contemporary government and necessary scrutiny.

MessageWe're willing to go along with this.

MessageShould add though that we believe the number of seats should be an odd number, such as 301, to reduce the likelihood of tied votes.

MessageSo, what should the final number be? 353, 385, 411, or even up to 523.

MessageI actually like 411.

From Jakania Union Party
ToDebating the National Assembly Enlargement Bill
MessageWe believe 301 is an appropriately moderate step.

Date21:13:48, June 29, 2006 CET
From Citizens For A Progressive Jakania
ToDebating the National Assembly Enlargement Bill
MessageWe believe that a size ultimately in the region of 500 would be sensible and will in the mean time support any step made in that direction.

MessageThank You for your input. We will take a moderate region in your suggestions of 301 to 500+, so we think it should be 399.

MessageAlso, we can change it after the elections if it suit you people.

Messagei just figured out that as a majority, the JRP, JUP and the CPJ make up a 65% majority, if the CFP voteswe will be able to pass the bill. What luck, we are one 1% short of a two-thirds majority!

Random quote: "Thousands of Zardic soldiers were sacrificed so that the Zardic government could gain control of a few buildings and Theodoro could pretend to be Augustus the Great. This is the kind of jingoistic ideology Zardugal would bring to the Security Council. They will throw countless lives away in pursuit of former glory." - Prince Akhaias, former Coburan royal
