Ok, so we need to get an election going for DPM, specifically between Geilinor and Lamaredia. This will last 24 hours. The candidates may vote, no write-ins.

I vote for Geilinor.

by **Kamchastkia** » Wed Jan 08, 2014 11:53 pm

I vote Geil, sorry Lamaredia

by **Ainin** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 12:56 am

I vote Jesus.
Edit: Geil, if write-ins are banned

(Just kidding, Geil is a good candidate)

I vote for myself.

One last thing before I leave:

I change my vote from Geil to Lam, just to tie up the vote.

by **Soviet Canuckistan** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 6:35 am

I'll vote for Geil, seeing as he contested the primaries.

by **Bering** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 5:05 pm

I vote Geil

by **Neo Rome Republic** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 5:14 pm

Who are running for office? Is it just ProgCo, NFC, The Iron Party, PEMOLA and the independents, or has somebody else joined in on the fun?

That's about it. We have yet to see who the minor candidates will be.

Also, the business we have to attend to is minor at the moment (we have a one day lull, effectively), but I'm in talks with Glasgia about getting us the Foreign Affairs ministry. He'll probably ask for something on the large side in exchange, which is fine, but I want to get your opinions on what you wish to trade. For reference, we currently have Finance, Defence, Education, Research, Health, Transport, Business Safety, and Interior.

Would the MSP be interested in running the national piggy bank?

They might be. I TG'd Glasgia about 10 minutes ago.

Just to say, Iron has a deal with the NFC to support their candidate in return for ministries.

It turns out that Glas doesn't want to give up the FA, so there's no deal there. We're pretty much set on what we have available, so what I'll do is now open up the floor to anyone who wishes to run for a ministry position. This system was originally devised by Sovcan a few months ago, and how it works is that everyone lists the candidates in order of preference. If there are 10 candidates, for example, being put in first place on a ballot garners you 10 points, second place 9 points, etc. The person with the highest point total gets first pick, the second highest point total gets second pick, etc. We'll have about 2 days plus 7 hours (or so) to declare candidacies.

I declare my intention to run for a ministerial position.

I've made a surveymonkey poll for who you plan to vote for in the upcoming election:

I declare my intention to run for a ministerial position.

EDIT: I liked FPTP better than preferential voting.

What was wrong with that system again?

First Past the Post, you could win 30% of the vote and still win. You don't need the majority to win, you just need the most votes
