On 1 August 2005, Bole called for a review of Fiji's electoral system to represent all races proportionally in the House of Representatives. This would, he said, get rid of the antagonistic racial politics that have characterized Fiji for many years. The common voters' role was ""just toilet paper where everybody is just listed,"" and that in contests for open electorates, citizens were apt to vote on racial lines. ""This fear of racial politics is still endemic among many in Fiji today and we cannot change it but perhaps to have proportionate voting system can bring our people together,"" Bole said.
