| Message | This bill shows very clearly that the FIP does not care about the 'large minority' of people, or they would have passed this so that our smallest states (who are only slightly smaller than our largest) would have the same 'Senate' representatives as any other. This is a travesty! |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
