| Message | We are hesitant to give the smaller regions greater voice over the direction of this country. We like equal representation. So a tentative nay. |

| Message | But we don't have equal representation now. Those with a larger population have exactly the same number of seats as small provinces.. If anything, the smaller regions have a much larger voice then with any new system. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
