| Message | Turn out was up quite a bit this election. But an adjustment in representation along with political salaries does sound appealing. |

| Message | We agree with the idea of average workers' wages for MPs, but not with the increase in seats to 750. The number of seats in the Assembly is guided by 2 principles: 1. It must be in some way proportional to the population. 2. It must be a prime number, or at least an odd one, in order to prevent ties. |

| Message | "the more seats for me" - that really tells it, you just want more seats for your blokes while it won't give any more power with this proportional system. |

| Message | equal pay is fine but no more seats our current number is perfect. |
