| Message | The Combination has benefitted through the current system more than once, but we believe the proposed arrangement to better serve the people of Kanjor and thereby ourselves. Kanjor has suffered from extremely distorted representations in parliament compared to the results of the previous few elections, and this needs to be rectified. |

| Message | How is equal representation causing "extremely distorted representations"? |
| Date | 19:50:00, March 08, 2006 CET | From | Socialistic democrats | To | Debating the Territory Representation Bill |
| Message | Let's say a region has a population of 5 people (extremely small number) and there are 5 regions in the nation. Then if the 5 people vote for the socialistic democrats, for example, we will get 20 seats, based on votes from 5 people. Unfair. We need representation based on population..... |
