MessageThe MLP cannot support Article 1, because it negates the idea of "one person one vote." Remove it, and we'll vote for Article 2.

MessageWe cannot make any changes in the voting phase. But how exactly does Article 1 negate the idea of "one person one vote"? If anything, it AFFIRMS it, by removing the overrepresentation of smaller regions.

MessageYes, but then it under-represents large regions. You're trading one problem for another. We need a method for true proportionality, whereby each region gets a fair number of seats based on its population.

MessageThat's exactly what we are proposing. It says "Equal representation, regardless of region population". That means... oh wait. You're right. Whoops.

    Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar).

    Random quote: "The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart." - Mahatma Gandhi
