| Message | Nope, still won't support a measure that will hurt our representation. Fortunately, I think the Rildanor Democratic League, the leftist party union, has enough seats now to block all constitutional amendments. |

| Message | Why would it hurt the BP? You received one of the highest votes in the larger regions. I would ask you to reconsider. |

| Message | "Fortunately, I think the Rildanor Democratic League, the leftist party union, has enough seats now to block all constitutional amendments." Not true. The top 4 parties can easily pass any constitutional ammendments; the numbers add up. |

| Message | I just realized that I named this bill incorrectly. It should have been "Allocation" rather than "Reduction". |

| Message | Well I finished 4th in the biggest region and 1st in the smallest, so I'd lose seats in both with a change to the algorithm. |
