NSG Senate (interest, brainstorming)

[Frisivisia]

There would likely be some sort of coalition system with all the parties. Left v. Right, Authoritarian v. Libertarian, etc.

That'd be interesting. I'd be at a terrible disadvantage, I won't find a safe spot easily due to my quirky views.

Likely, the Left will break up due to its enormous girth on NSG. Communists, Left-Capitalists maybe. You'll find a place somewhere. It'll be interesting to see how that shakes out.

Join my coalition: Unusual Views Party.

[Auriga]

This is a very interesting idea and I am in full support of it.

[TaQud]

what if you are centrist/moderate?

Pick a side and moderate them (Join us on the left, TaQud ).

hmm which side to pick.... (or maybe independent like Lieberman is..)

[TaQud]

Now That I would join.

Wouldn't that be difficult to manage since some of the unusual views would contradict other unusual views?

I have already made a suggestion. Please read it first: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=234745&p=13779759#p13779759

Yeah, I saw it. It's a great system for government, but a bit complicated for two threads in a forum.

Yeah. That's the worst part of it: The complicity. Shall we at least have Direct Proportional Representation?

[Earth Empire]

Sounds cool.

[Frisivisia]

You're not unusual, you're worth a few refined at best . Join my Left-Capitalist Social Justice Bonobo Hasselhoff Party.

Yeah...

I will just join the communists.

[Denecaep]

I'm thinking there will be an opportunity for anyone to create a party assuming they get a certain amount of "signatures" (perhaps four or five other people that have agreed to endorse the party).

I would join the Left-Capitalist Social Justice Bonobo Hasselhoff Party, but I recommend you rename it the Social Democratic Party, or Progressive Party.

I'm pretty sure the Democratic Socialists and Social Democrats will have tension. So with the Fascists and Nazis.

Unless there are alot more conservative market socialists on here, I'm fucked.

Well, like I implied in the OP, it is probably just going to be a case of: if you want to be in it, and you've been a member for at least a month, you can be a senator. Elections wouldn't work well.

I like Progressive Party. I'm officially founding it, with me as its leader. Anyone interested in joining, I'm accepting, provided your views match up with those of the party.

[Auriga]

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*

Won't work, we might as wellmake Nightkill the Popular Dear Leader.

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

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.

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

[The God-Realm]

I am starting the Communist Party.

[The Grim Reaper]

Put me down as the token single-issue senator.

Freedom of information! Copyright is too damn restrictive! etc. etc.!

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.

[The Grim Reaper]

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.

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