Message | You have misinterpreted this proposal I think. It means that each region will be given the same amount of seats regardless of population, while the currrent system allocates based on population, but gives a slight advantage to larger regions. There is no 'Perfect' system |

Message | Possibly, though we maintain that a vote from a smaller region does not hold as much weight as one from a larger. |
