| Message | Equal representation? The current system IS equal representation. What the PCP is proposing is rather a formula of domination, in which the interests of urban areas will be put ahead of the interests of rural areas, unfairly stripping our rural citizens of a discernible voice in our government.

| Message | the current system is not equal representation, it is unfair on the more populated regions as they have less say on the make-up of the parliament, we approve 100% |

| Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
