Positive, because hey, it's reform actually being proposed.

Just because it's a reform doesn't mean it should be enacted...

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Neutral.


I hate reducing the number of Senate seats.


What this will come down to is what is the path of least resistance. If you want to reduce the number of regions do you reduce the Senate's composition, or do you give the finger to the Regional Rights movement?

We don't have to reduce the number of Senators to reduce the number of regions.  As I've said, there was a proposal earlier to merge the Mideast and Pacific but let the regions keep their borders for representation purposes.  It's probably not going to be enacted because most Pacific and Mideast voters apparently do not want to be merged, but it's a much better idea than this garbage.

Would that be possible with Antonio's map, which is the one I was asked to introduce? If so, then fine we have three options to deal with implications for the Senate rather than just two obviously horrible choices.

I don't see why not.  I don't have many problems with Antonio's map, but eliminating Senate positions will have the exact opposite effect of what we are trying to achieve.
