| Message | This makes no sense. We might as well put it back to giving larger regions a bigger advantage. THEY have more voters. |

| Message | Liberated party: If you have watched our election results closely then you saw that under the system i proposed we got as much seats as we got voters, now it's not i might as well get 1 million more votes then you and still have less seats (although thats unlikely). |

| Message | Effect on your electoral prospects is irrelevant - the idea that a region with fewer people should get more seats is simply ridiculous - far more fair would be a system giving advantage to larger regions, as with more popuulation, they should have more representatives. This bill is disgusting. |
