A Rebuttal to Meeker's Thread

that would give two Senators to Pacific, giving them unfair advantage over other regions and, possibly, stripping one from electing their own Senator.

Regional senate representation already gives an unfair advantage to less populous regions.

It is interesting the lightning speed you people managed to deal with this 'situation' yet we have still made no progress in democratizing the election of our Senators.

If you're in favor of eliminating regional seats altogether, that's fine. Frankly, it would be better to see all ten elected at-large, but if we're keeping regional seat, then each region should elect the same number. Otherwise, by population, it would be Northeast rightly entitled to two seats (you'd love that, Napoleon and Marokai), rather than much smaller Pacific.

But you see, I don't mind that the Pacific could potentially be 'disadvantaged' by losing its extra portion of representation that the current system entitles it to.  Any such system is inherently unfair.  The exact location of which region suffers the most as a result of these seats is not relevant to me in formulating my opinion.
