Well, I don't intend to abolish the idea of having provinces, and I don't want them to be powerless wishy-washy constructs like the Penguinean wapentakes. I meant to say that if the idea of having a Senate as sort of a "House of Provinces" is abolished, then probably it would be a matter of honesty to give up on provinces as well. ;-)
