| Message | This will simply alienate the smaller Presbyteries and lead to the dissolusion of the Empire. We would consider a pseudo-proportional algorithm to protect the interests of smaller Presbyteries, but never this! |

| Message | Yes, every vote should be equal. That means that a vote from a man in Agathion should be worth as much as in every other presbytery, not devalued or increased in value for the sake of "equality" of the presbyteries. |

| Message | This is an appalling example as there are only a few thousand genuine Luthoran patriots in Agathion - the rest are heathen dogs! |
