| Message | Hmmm we see what is trying to be done, although larger regions that have higher population will be at a disadvantage to smaller regions, result the few controlling the many....the current legislature may be more fair. However I am willing to be swayed though... |

| Message | I rise in support of this worthy bill. At the moment, the smaller regions are dwarfed by the larger regions. This results in several minorities not getting represented in this parliament. If we are to be truly representitive of this country, we must pass this bill. |
