| Message | It is very unfair if Kelvon which has a population of 75 million has exactly the same seats as Agatha which has a population of 97 million since this will mean that the vote of every person in the larger regions will be worth less than that of those in the smaller regions. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
