| Message | More representatives means each citizen has a bigger say in their republic. Who would be against that? Rather than having 120 thousand citizens per representative we would see 80 thousand per representative (for example). This means that each citizen now has a greater say in their nation. Why be opposed to greater powers for the people? -Chris "Kid" Coltson, Public Speaker of the Reform Option |

| Message | "More representatives means the breaking up of communities into separate constituencies for no purpose other than the Unionists favour 425 as a value, so the LPS want to reach as far away from that as possible to prove their non-Unionist credentials. Their entire platform is based on being anti-Unionist rather than being for anything. We oppose not based on some (questionable) argument about the proportion of citizens per vote but on the fact that our communities have been communally represented by the 425 constituencies for a thousand years...they are being broken up for no reason."
