| Message | Each region is already almost exactly the same size and has the same representation in the storting so in practice this bill will likely make no difference. |
| Date | 17:06:43, October 26, 2014 CET | From | Sammen | To | Debating the Seat Distribution Act |
| Message | We still feel this should be reflected in the laws as well. OOC: Can the populations of regions change at all? |
