Message | This will give individuals in the smaller provinces a larger vote than individuals in the larger provinces. It would be nice if there were an option for everybody's vote to count the same, but the existing legislation is as close as we can get. |
Date | 22:09:26, May 28, 2008 CET | From | Party for a Federal Meritocracy | To | Debating the Representation of the People Act. |
Message | To clarify--this would not "allow all people to have an equal view in politics" because what it would do is assign 70 seats to each province regardless of population. |

Message | Which is exactly what 'an equal view is' - everyone having the same. It's simple really. |
