| Message | We are not sure how "equal representation" is somehow not representative of the people. |

| Message | I disagree with the current laws. Regions with more population SHOULD be given a form of advantage. To bring it into context, imagine a region has only one person in it, and another has 1000 people. Now, the way elections work is that, the party which gets the most regions wins, it is not based on raw votes. So should this 1 man state have as much power as the 1000 man state in elections? V. confusing. |

| Message | The VCA dodges issues and gives idiotic replies, they won't give a real reason, except to hold on to power in their way that they do, and I am supprised that the Conservatives don't dissent from this age old way that the VCA uses to try to control the people. This is a manipulation of elections. |

| Random fact: Large scale RP planning (such as wars, regional/continental conflicts, economic collapse, etc.) should be planned (as best as it can be) and should have consent of a majority of players involved. |
| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
