| Message | Noooo. We must ensure that everywhere has a representative, every constituency is the same size, and if that means that large regions have more seats, so be it. |

| Message | There must be fair and equal representation in our Government for each region and state or we are openly promoting favoritism to one region and state over another. Meaning the Government is more likely to favor a proposal from one area over the other and such action may cause another area to go down hill or worse lose seats in the Government therefore making their wishes less heard. |

| Message | You say it leaves some under represented and other over? Is that not what the current system is doing now? Leaving some under represented and others over represented? Is it really ok for a region or state to have more say in what goes on as an entire nation just because it has more people? If this is the case are you suggesting that to get Equal representation we should relocate a few thousand and equally distribute them around each region? Sounds like a dangerous and perplexed issue we have. Kristopher Miller Party Leader of the SNP |
