| Message | Why must we have a ratio? Why? What's wrong with 100 (no of seats = percentage of legislature)? |

| Message | Because we frikin' represent our peeps! And it doesn't make sense to represent with a number that is not proportionate to them! You see, If you have 190, its one rep for every 500k peeps. But with one hundred, its one rep for every. 952297.19, and that makes no sense. (And I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be .19 of a person.) |

| Message | "Because we frikin' represent our peeps!" I fail to see how the precise number of Senators prevents representation of the electorate. "But with one hundred, its one rep for every. 952297.19, and that makes no sense." But the population changes on a fairly regular basis. Do you want to update the number of seats every second for each child born? |

| Message | Besides, 1:500 000 is an abitrary number. Why not 1:1 000 000? Why not 1:100 000? Why not 1:1? |
