| Message | This bill makes our political system considerably less equal. It means that people in more populous states have their votes count for less. A state with 21 million people gets 120 seats, as does a state with 19 million people. That means the seats per people is way higher in the state with 19 million people than the state with 21 million people. Cindy Kirchen Co-Leader of Pragmatismus Minister of Justice |

| Message | OOC: In practice it won't make much difference how this law is set, because all of the regions are of almost equal size. |
