| Message | "Each region of Solentia *is* equally represented in this body. What higher representation do the larger States get? It seems to be that the Greens are attempting to scaremonger. The population differences between our largest and smallest States are so tiny that they do not impact upon the proportion of seats allocated to any of our States, each one receiving an equal 85 seats. The amount of times that this law has actually affected the seat share is not only minuscule but the last time seems to be around the 2500s. In short; we are not convinced this is an issue at all."
