| Message | If people are viewed as equals, their votes should count equally. If you take two seconds to think about this you realize it's far more important for Kanjorans to get a proportionate amount of representatives than for their regions to be equal. We are one nation. |

| Message | Then why are we called a confederation? I think the people from Solvat and Vagderra consider themselves Solvations and Vagderrans first and Kanjorans second. The different provinces, the island and mainland, the two Kanjors, are very different from each other. Each should send the same amount of people into the senat. |

| Message | We believe that this is simply an attempt by parties that are more popular in small regions to gain power that outweighs their popularity with the people of the entire nation. Perhaps their are those that feel the many millions who voted UNPH in Zanyal should be disefranchised to beniefit their own petty political (and striaght) goals |

| Message | Why indeed are we a confederation... This nation was very federalist when we came on the scene, but that was one thing that the PPPP made a huge lasting change on. We turned changed dozens of laws to take power away from "local governments" and create a strong centralized nation. Strength in unity! |
