| Message | Absolutely against this preposterous idea. This is fundamentally undemocratic, we believe in one man, one vote. Not what this would result in, that being one person from our smallest region having a massively disproportionate effect to someone from the largest reason. Completely against this awful proposal |

| Message | Against this idea. |

| Message | It certainly is a democratic idea. It gives every province an equal share of power. I would call it the emancipation of the nation. |

| Message | If it gives every province an equal number of seats, it is not democratic, because it means some individuals have more power than others. So, 1 Milratan's vote would be equal to 1.45 Kildan Olvarian's vote. |

| Message | What's wrong with that. For a federation it will do. |

| Message | There's nothing necessarily wrong with it, but it is undemocratic. |
