| Message | This is mad! cutting the number of seats cuts small parties out, and giving both regions equal representation gives too much power to the east, which contains only a quarter of our population! |

| Message | Currently there is too much power in the West. In a nation with two regions it should be equal. In addition, 750 is too big. |
