NSG Senate (interest, brainstorming)

[Denecaep]

It's possible. It apparently happened with the NSG Parliament. Nonetheless, hopefully people will realize that there is strength in numbers. Being part of a larger political party is more advantageous.

Very true, there is a lot of power in numbers. But, I feel that it would also be in the best interests of the NSG Senate to establish ways in which to prevent to constant formation of useless parties; or, at least, prevent them from clogging up the works.

That's why the formation of a party would require at least five people. It doesn't seem like much, but it is surprisingly difficult, probably.

[United Provinces of Atlantica]

I proclaim myself to be Progressive Party Deputy Leader, to at least running for Progressive Party Deputy Leader.

Well, as leader of the party, I'd like to know your views, at least.

I am a Democratic Socialist, who supports Universal Healthcare, Universal Education, Gay Marriage, Pro-Choice movements, and unions (to some extent). My views are mostly that of my country. I also believe that the death penalty is evil, and now of the worst violations of Human Rights.

[Zweite Alaje]

Are you suggesting that we may end up with a large amount of useless and senseless parties? Such as the "Hey, endorse this!" Party. Because, I assure you, that would not happen. *sarcasm intended*

Like Fris said, there will most like likely be coalitions eventually. The individual parties won't be that influential other tan coalition infighting.

But I'm probably gonna start my own party as well, I'm confident I have enough supporters to at least maintain a small party.

[Soviet Canuckistan]

I'd join

[Aeken]

I'd like to be apart of it, probably not as vocal as others but still contributing.

That works for me, consider yourself in the party.

EDIT: Shall I keep a list of members in my sig? It would likely be helpful and help advertise the party.

[Auriga]

I intend to start a coalition of independent senators to organize a larger, broader movement to curb the power of larger main parties in the general interests of the senate.

Beyond that, of course, members will be allowed to vote as they see fit.

You have a very good point; there is danger in having a few large political parties that run everything. But there is also danger in having too many parties.

In fact, there's danger in having parties at all. In many cases people begin voting in favor of their parties rather than in the best interests of everyone as a whole. I wonder where we have seen that before.

1 - Thank you. I shall work on making our party an official one straightaway.

2 - That is a very good idea. I shall also try to put it on my sig.

So your coalition to curb the power of other coalitions will vote as they please? You understand how goddamn stupid that is.

This

A coalition of independent senators would either end up functioning like a pseudo-party itself or it'd just collapse.

It's done. Check it.

[Silent Majority]

Seems intriguing

[Thafoo]

Sure, why the hell not.

[Frisivisia]

Sure, why the hell not.

Would you be at all interested in my Progressive Party?

[Evraim]

I suppose I shall march on Rome with eight legions to depose you and save the Republic. Of course, they'll need more fabulous uniforms first...


What of Sulla? And Catiline?

Sulla's rule 82 BC-81 BC. Catiline from what I understand never had the office of dictator, only consul.

I see. I really ought to review my Roman history. I think you're correct about Catiline, though I'm not certain if he actually ever served as Consul.

I suppose I'll found the Monster Raving Looney Party or the Jewish People's Fascist Anarchist Green Corporatist Conservative Progressive Party of Lesotho. We shall become the most successful political faction ever.

[TaQud]

I wonder if there could be the No Party Party.

[Thafoo]

Sure, why the hell not.

Would you be at all interested in my Progressive Party?

Tell me more, I like the sound of it.

[Gothmogs]

I like this idea. Another distraction from my schoolwork.

[Auriga]

I find it intriguing how this NSG Senate hasn't even been formed yet and people are already trying to gain support for their political parties.

It's everything you think. We're a party dedicated to Progressive Ideals like economic regulation, progressive taxation with a higher focus on the wealthy, a healthy, functioning welfare state. We also further socially libertarian values on gay marriage (legal), marijuana (legal), and civil liberties.

The Jewish People's Fascist Anarchist Green Corporatist Conservative Progressive Party of Lesotho opposes this phenomenon. If you sympathize with our position on this policy issue, you might be interested in becoming a member of our organization.

But do you support free beer?

I want to make a party but I don't know what name would best suit the image I want.

We support free beer day, one day a year where each citizen of the legal drinking age gets one free beer, courtesy of the government.
