Centrist Leader Andre Gouhlaman Speaking at a Centrist Rally in Early Marth

In 1580, the Federal Assembly was expanded to two hundred seats, the first expansion in nearly a century, to wide acclaim. At the time, it was thought it would be the last expansion for some time, but in the run-ups to the 1586 election, there is buzz growing that the Assembly may look to expand again.

The original expansion was agreed upon early in the 16th Federal Convention and in 1580, the new seats were opened up. There were few who opposed the growth -- an odd moment of unanimous support in the Assembly. The expansion allowed parties that were traditionally crowded out, such as the Greens and Left, a chance to make traction and represent their agenda in Denil. While the expansion was widely popular, few expected it to be repeated any time soon, but now, six years later, many candidates are speaking about it.

"We hadn't really considered it when we prepared our agenda for the election," Centrist leader Andre Gouhlaman said in a private interview, "But in the time we have been campaigning there has been considerable interest from constituents -- certainly more so than I would have expected."

Presently, there are two hundred seats, including the Prime Ministers chair. Previously there were 148 seats in the Assembly. There hasn't been any official word on what further expansion would represent, but estimates have been all over the board, from 250 to over 300. A poll put on by Dafta, a leading poll in the Federation, estimates that most Florinthians approve of further expansion, though there is hardly the same agreement on how much it should be expanded. Support is all over the board, although most of those polled approve something between 240 and 280. A shocking 18% of those polled supported expansion to over 300 seats.

Certainly small parties are most excited about the prospect of expansion, however, as they would be looking at a real chance to gain seats, just as the Greens and Left have done previously.
