Not in favor.  As I've said in the other thread, this proposal would make these regions less competitive because it would leave us with one liberal region, one conservative region, and one competitive region.  And while I love to see Northeast have the influence it does in these elections, I don't believe it would be fair.  The boundaries should be kept the same, but the South needs to have better legislators, is all.

I'd add Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma to the "East" and move Maryland, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia and D.C into the Northeast.

How is this any different than what we have now?  We currently have 4 uncompetitive regions, with one competitive one. 

The South, at least in terms of the voters, appears somewhat moderate.  If it's merged with the Mideast, it's solid RPP/right-leaning.  If the Pacific (I suppose the 'moderate' alternative of the Midwest) is merged with the Midwest, it's solidly JCP/left-leaning.

The Northeast will never relinquish anything to anything.  That is all Smiley

Gerrymandering.

     I would like to add that the Imperial Legislature worked well for over a year, from March 2010 to August 2011. Even so, it would be in great shape today except for Kalwejt, Jbrase, & now Yelnoc running for Senate in special elections, which is of course their prerogatives & something that I harbor no ill will over. The recent batch of Legislators has been disappointing, but there is simply no basis for destroying the region when considering what has actually gone on here.

     If anything, I would dare to say that our sin is that we have been too successful. When half of the Senate will hail from one region, that says something about the people of those lands.

This must be karma for allowing part of your region to secede from us. Wink
