Lady Celeste,

While I can't speak for every single person who voted in the polling, I
have spoken to a majority of them.   I think that you are unfairly
representing what most of the people who voted were indicating.  While I
can see how your feelings could make you want to vote in favor of question
1, to force a formal polling. I think that most of the people where
speaking much more directly to the questions at hand.   Many wrote
additional comments to clarify their feelings.  The questions in the poll
were worded as follows.

1.Should the Northern Region begin the process to become a Sovereign
Principality?
Yes No (circle your choice)
2. Regardless of the Sovereign Principality question should the Northern
Region petition the
Crown to become a Crown Principality?
Yes No (circle your choice)
3.Regardless of the Principality question, would you like to have a name
and device for the
Northern Region?
Yes No (circle your choice)

I appreciate your comments and do not feel they are hostile in any
way.  Dialog is good especially if it can help us understand each other better.

Sir Burke
