Message | As currently we are the leading party in the largest region in Hutori it would be hard for me not to vote for this measure. However, I shall have to follow in line with the coalition on this one as to not be accused of bias. |

Message | Let's put this to a vote but we will vote against. We think the smaller regions need more power in the government since the larger regions already have more economic power and have stronger lobby. With more power to the bigger regions, the smaller regions will be left out. |
