Message | The short of it is that small regions are over-represented under the current system, which is what enables authoritarian regimes like MLP and CP to dictate their anti-democratic agenda to the majority of Alorians who oppose it. Vote yes for freedom! |

Message | The current one gives an advantage to larger regions who actually merit it, while smaller regions don't merit an advantage... BECAUSE THEY'RE SMALLER. Smaller regions having an advantage on the amount of seats gained makes about as much sense as paying 40ALO for one cookie when you can pay 30ALO for 10. |
