| Message | Let me guess, the bigger regions voted for you did they? One vote = one vote. Give us one good reason why that should not be true. |

| Message | We agree that one vote = one vote. That is why we support this bill; as it stands, a small region with 17 million people gets the same number of members as one with 23 million. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
