| Message | We find this title misleading. By giving local governments the ability to decide the means of appointing the mayors that serve under them, this bill essentially takes power from the people and redistributes it to the provincial/state governments. Popularly-elected mayors is the best devolution policy. |

| Message | "Passing this bill would allow for a local government to end democracy in their area, and we won't stand for it |
