| Message | Article 5 is an interesting concept the LLL supports having a try at. But the rest of this is just ridiculous. |

| Message | Article 5 would be fine if there was another house of the parliament that represented the people more directly, but it only lowers democratic legitimacy on the whole, giving disproportionate power to states with lower populations. |

| Message | Why not give it a chance. As long as I remeber we have used the proproportional algorithm for the past 200+ years its time for change people. |
