| Message | So, a region A with 30 million citizens is going to be represented by the same amount of Parliament members than a region B with only 20 million citizens. You are trying to say that the citizen's vote on region B is more important and count more than those in region A, correct? You should be ashamed. Every vote must count the same way. |

| Message | I absolutely believe that if we are in fact the UNITED REPUBLICS of Lodamun, then each republic should have an equial voice. otherwise perhaps we should just do what the Liberals want and centralize everything. heck lets just get rid of the republics entirely. |

| Message | Let's make this part of the constitutional reform discussion, which will hopefully extend through several terms and make for a very interesting discussion. For now we will abstain, but will keep an open mind about everything (we tend towards the Liberals' passion for centralism, but are conscious of this country's great federal tradition). |
