| Message | In the previous election, the Greens won over 50% of the vote. However, the electoral system negatively impacted the DVP and the Greens, and significantly benefitted the Monarchist Party. As a result, Dundorf will have a government and a legislature that it's people did not vote for. This is an injustice, and in the spirit of the values of this Democratic Republic must be addressed. |

| Message | Every state should be equally represented and therefore we will have to vote against this. |

| Message | Bar a few thousand either way each region has the exact same population, so for the Monarchists to force the entire coubtry to keep an electoral system which benefits the Monarchist Party says quite a lot about them and their disdain for democracy. |

| Message | In fact, under the system proposed by the Greens, because the regional populations are practically identical each region would have the same amount of seats but the vote share would be reflected proportionally in terms of seats won, rather than disproportionately and thus favouring one party as in the last election. |

| Message | Which they would also have under the proportional system in this proposal - the populations of the regions are basically the same. |
