| Message | This would increase democracy. Giving more lee-way to the rights of the minority and preventing oppression and tyranny of the majority over a minority. We don't want to end up like Spain or Britannia. |

| Message | In other words ; Do what five people vote for while five hundred vote against it, and call that democracy?. No, this is an affront to freedom, pure and simple. Dirty fascist scum. |

| Message | The DPD didn't think it mattered how big a region was because the individual vote gives the number of seats. Thats how the DPD got the most seats in the last election despite not winning over any region. So, no. Everyone seems to have a fair amount of say as it is. |
