| Message | "The Unionist Party supports the traditional number of seats in the House however we do not share the sentiments made by the Jewish Nationalists. There is no dictatorship in this House cause by a low number of seats and seat numbers do not affect good Governance. Furthermore, this Act would not create 'equal representation'; only a smaller constitutency per representative and a closer link between the House and the people. We reccomend the Jewish Nationalists measure their tone if they want to retain support for this so-needed change." Ahlir Demiraslan, Unionist Executive President |
