| Message | Our party disagrees, if anything larger and smaller Regions should be given equal representation. |

| Message | Unfortunately that is not an option (or at least wasn't when I created this). As I understand it, this is the fairest way of giving equal representation. |

| Message | Again, PEP is decidedly not in favor. |

| Message | So we should let the filthy farmers get more say instead of the city-dwellers that make up the majority of your great nation? I think not! |

| Message | Giving the larger Regions more say will just let them trample over the rights and needs of the smaller Regions... |

| Message | I think it should be decided by politival ideology. I don't know if this is just a bill or you really want to change the game this way. But, I find that there is more controversy on issues between political parties instead of regions. If each political party got the same amount of votes, I think everyone would benefit the most. |

| Message | ...:-D exactly - if everyone would just unite under the single banner of the Institutional Revolutionary Party and then debate issues wouldn't our great country stand to benefit. I'm glad to see already a convert to the cause |

| Message | but back on subject - the IRP supports the proposal. Its time to clean out the rotten boroughs! |

| Message | Haha, IRP. I don't know you too well but I'm not sure you and I have the same opinions on issues. In other words, I'm not a convert... |
