| Message | Seeing as several parties have expressed a wish for this on the FR bill, and the Leviathan party has ignored us, we will move this to a vote. |

| Message | We truely feel that the differences in regions will prevent us from supporting this. AS stated before our regions are not just lines on a map but are of historical significance and have cultural differences. By forcing us into a strictly democratic system the smaller regions will be crushed by the weight of the larger regions. |

| Message | So you are happy with a system that has 20% over-representation? Of course, you desire a system with 50% overrepresentation. |
