| Message | The current system prevents any region-based power plays. It is honest and cannot be said unfair. |

| Message | I don't know about this. Our system does not fluculate based on population, and I don't think it is. The current way may be semi unfair, but it's stable... |

| Message | The current sytem doesn't allow for anything new to be tried in Likatonia. I've exhausted civil rights options without turning into the fascist party..and there is little room to manouvere..lets atleast give it a try |

| Message | The current system is fair to every region regardless of population. It prevents any one from dominating the other. All are equally represented. It is eminently fair. Absolute democracy is just mob rule, after all, and we all know how that turns out. |

| Message | The current system prevents anyone from pandering to their favorite regions and encourages politicians to look at the entire country and improve all areas equally. We shouldn't change it. |
