| 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. |
