Totally Rad Party HQ [NSG Senate]

[Mishmahig]

Also, we have, what, 14 other bills to get through first?

Well it looks like we would be able to clear those quite quickly with the "emergency measures" proposed.

I suggest we oppose those measures.

To allow the Senate time to cool down. Everything's too heated now, with insults and threats flying.

[Arglorand]

Tbh, the Senate needs recess.

I did. I hate it, but it's a catchy song.

I'll give them that.

So, a question. How do we update the members list, what with Divair having gone? (Damn, I miss him.)

We're moving to a new thread as soon as we elect a chairman.

I like to think Div is still here, but just lurking and mentally cursing whenever someone does something stupid.

[Ovisterra]

So, as the election draws to a middle and I have to go to bed, I'd like to do a quick repost of some of the central parts of my campaign.

My platform is as follows:

1. Keeping the party going in the same direction it is going now and editing our policies only when necessary.

2. Keeping our rad logo and name.

3. Living by Divair's motto of never, ever backing down even in the face of overwhelming odds, because someone has to and I'm not waiting for anyone else to take on the job.

4. Using Jedi Mind Tricks to win us votes and things.

5. Reaching out to the people.

Honourable Senators of the Party, this is Ovisterra signing off for the night.

[Ainin]

My Platform

• Having fabulous formatting in my posts
• Supporting the Netherlands
• Thinking about the future
• Finding multipartisan solutions to issues
• Making optimism part of our platform

Thank you Divair

I approve of this poster. We'll miss you, Div. *gives salute*

Prostitution and porn regulation would also be nice.

Let me explain, just so we're clear, why, exactly, we're doing this.

The working title of these objectives, condensed into one political strategy, is Operation: Fuck you, Fascists. We want to see the faces of every rightwinger who was whining that the left couldn't pass anything via democratic means and thus had to resort to using the administration contort into vivid expressions that we could lul at. So to speak, this is our little parting gift for Divair, because it's this partisan bickering and "THE LEFT IS CHEATING" that made him leave in the first place.

And yeah, still waiting for candidates for Chairman.

I fully support the name, objectives, and motivation of this operation.

*Churchill voice*

"We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in lobby, we shall fight in the coffee shop, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the chamber, we shall defend our values, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight in the HQ, we shall fight in the event threads, we shall fight for the bills and the the amendments, we shall fight for what's right; we shall never surrender."

Deserves to be AQ'd if it isn't already.

Also, I vote for Ovisterra.

[Ainin]

Current Standing:

Ovisterra 10 (59%)
Ainin 5 (29%) 
Abstain 2 (12%)

EDIT: Whoopsies. Math fail. Corrected now.

[Ainin]

As it is now painstakingly obvious, Ovisterra has an overwhelming majority of votes, and it is statistically extremely unlikely for me to pull a victory, I will drop out and cede all my votes to Ovi. I thank everyone who supported me, but, hey, what can I say? He knew how to use the force [ ]. As he said to me in a TG, we're pretty alike [but I'm Canadian, eh?] and at the end, it pretty much ended as a sheep vs alpaca best animal battle. The party is surely in good hands, and I trust that Ovisterra will be a great leader. That is all. Good evening. Peace out.

Sincerely,
Ainin

I hope Ovisterra keeps our party in shape, although Divair is gone.

And I think it's inevitable that we might merge with the Liberal Democrats or the Civic Party very soon.

The LibDem/TR merger was attempted and failed.
The Civic Party has 3 members and is unofficial.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER!
