| Message | Why should the Smaller regions have a considerable advantage over the bigger ones? More people live in the larger regions thus should control more % of the votes. We understand that your party does best in these small regions and thus this will heavily benifit you while taking away from most other parties. Nice touch by trying to intice the biggest party by giving him control of proposing a cabinet coalition but no-one will fall for that. |

| Message | 1. We did used to be great proponents of this, but now we will really need convincing to support this one 2. We are adamently opposed to this i'm afraid. We've always believed in a seperation between the HoS and HoG - though obviously if this one was to pass then we would see the logic of 1 3. We are open to being convinced on this! 4. Never really seen the point in seat inflation, but there no real objections from us on this one! |

| Message | We disagree that the office of HoS and HoG should be merged. We fail to see any reason to support expanding the number of seats. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
