Message | I have to agree, I do not wish to increase government spending, I would even support tax cuts for the common man, but what good is a government if there is not enough flexibility to fairly represent the larger majority of our voters? More seats means less fear a voter's vote will not count for anything, for more votes for independents would get seats, which would mean some representation for the population that supports them. Right now, with such a low seat count, the vast majority of seats belong to the 3 major parties, leaving those who support and/or vote independent to have less and less representation. This is why I have proposed this bill. |
