| Message | I would support this bill were Article 1 by itself. I see no reason to take the representation of the citizens on a local level away from the citizens, nor do I see a compelling reason to reduce the number of seats by half. |

| Message | I have removed the 3rd article, though I still hold that centralising the government in this way is the best way forward. |
