| Message | I believe, sir, that the notion of equal representation is actually quite a socialist idea. And while I support a fusion of democracy and socialism I will not stand by as housands of people are underrepresented. You see, since all the Collectifs have an equa amount off representatives this gives an impossibly large advantage to Collectifs with smaller population while introducing a huge disadvantage to those with larger populations as the ratio of representatives to people per capita will be serverly lacking when put in comparison to those ratios in smaller Collectifs. And therefore I implore the speaker of the Parti Socialiste Unifié to finally awcknowledge this problem and correct it, lest he show his true disdain for the people of this nation and their votes as well as the very democratic ideals that are supposed to bind them. |
