[NSGS] Democratic Left [Official HQ]

[Zunkwentania]

Indeed we will.

No need to picket. Bel is overconfident that he win, only because his Coalition's candidate has more votes than Malgrave...even though it is the first round of voting. He forgets that we have about 15 votes from the WA that will be accounted for in the second round which will lead to a close victory for our coalition.

We're picketing their existence

Ah, carry on then. Tally ho!

[People Who Say Ni]

Hi! I'm hoping to join your party.

[Malgrave]

Hi! I'm hoping to join your party.

Welcome! You've joined at a fairly hectic time as we're currently in the middle of the nations first Presidential elections. I'm Eugenia Malgrave, the Presidential candidate for the Democratic Left and the coalition we have going with the Liberal Democrats. You can vote in this thread

[Mollary]

Mollary, the man on your flag reminds me of the newsreader from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I know he's probably some big political figure, but I don't keep up with all the historical socialist figures that appear in the Dem-Left's wet dreams

If by wet dreams you mean weird, terrible horny nightmares, then yes.

Also, I've had nothing back from Uni or Band on policy, does anyone want to join an espernet chat tomorrow night to flesh out social and foreign policy for the party?

[Mollary]

Arthur Scargill is hardly historical. He's still alive, albeit not really having done any major notable actions for around 30 years.

He's technically alive. But many would argue his actions and his political views are historical and aren't part of the 21st century.

Look 'ere you class traitorin' fascist; my views are very much relevant in this day and age where the rich 'ave finally become richer than the rest of us put together. It's your 'Third Position" ideology tha' gonna be resigned to tha' dustbin o' 'istory.

[Murkwood]

Glasgia.

Found this funny, that's all.

[Bandwagon]

I've comprised a list of all the potential cabinet positions from the LDP thread and I think the Democratic Left can challenge for the following positions if we get the member base together.

Pres. - Eugenia Malgrave
DPM -
Min. of Agriculture and Rural Affairs -
Min. of Finance - Sebastián Luc Morales
Min. of Interior - Antonio Jordan Ruiz Simon Alvarez-Bolivar
Min. of Environment & Energy - Zunkwentania
Min. of Social Services and Welfare -
Min. of Housing -
Ministry of Transport & Infrastructure -
Minister of Industry - Mollary

If Mollary , Bandwagon and other party members wish to announce their intent to run for other positions in the cabinet then I can edit them onto the list. Of course I am open to suggests from other members on what cabinet positions they wish to see added or removed from the list.

I will run for Housing because I live in the Greater Dublin area.
(Which is having a London-style problem.)

You should vote for Democratic Left candidates if you want a position in any future cabinet.

Is this a social democratic party or a democratic socialist party?
Pick one or the other when you choose, I don't think parties that try to unite both will be successful or even worth my time.

We are a social democratic party that adheres to the following democratic socialist principles:

• Democracy, comprised of regular and free elections, is of the utmost importance, including universal suffrage with a secret ballot.
• All people have the same basic human rights, which must be protected and advanced by the State, regardless of race, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, religious faith, ethnicity, citizenship, political belief or disability.
• We recognize that people may own wealth and property, individually or in groups, but when any conflict of interest arises, people and the environment will always be more important than property, and that the State must always ensure a fair and just distribution of wealth. The State reserves the right to bring business, industry, and other private property into public ownership - always with just compensation - if it is in the public interest.
• The economy, society, and other affairs shall be managed in a fair and democratic manner, reflecting co-operation and mutual respect, rather than competition.
• The State must do all in its power to advance democracy, human rights, and social justice, both at home and abroad.
• The principles of egalitarianism, community, and solidarity are of the utmost importance in all economic, legal, social, cultural, and political spheres. All people should have equal access to these public spheres, and have a right to feel included in society.

Most of our members are social democrats, but our party has room for both the left and the centre-left and are committed to making our party as inclusive as possible.

Even though every Social Democratic party in the world has Social Democratic and Democratic Socialist factions.

Oh, and who the fuck are you again?

Maybe support party members in elections and parliamentary votes before you start trying to run for the Cabinet, bro.

If we don't secure a majority in the first round, that is. If we do secure a first-round majority, however, NSGS precedent provides for the immediate election of our candidate. And since the current GEA leaves a lot of the elections process up to precedent, and essentially admin decisions, that's the course that we will most likely take.

But you don't have a majority and you never will in time for this election.

Wow! That post wasn't even on this page! You have a lot of dedication to this feud.

If I have time, I like to read important threads. Your post was at the bottom of the last page, hardly a million miles away.

Ciao everyone. So looks like we're doing well in the polls

[Malgrave]

Ciao everyone. So looks like we're doing well in the polls

It has taken us a while to build up steam but I believe we are witnessing the results of the hard campaign work put in by numerous party members. I hope that you are more active in the party in the future, the senate is really kicking into gear and we still have government positions to give out.

Well I certainly am going to be more active, that's for sure. So what will we do should we win the election?

Collectivise the farms and abolish capitalism Pursue a social market economy, presumably.

Have we got Bills ready to be presented to parliament (or equivalent)? Because if not, give me an idea/gist of what you want and I'll author/co-author stuff if need be.

Yes, indeed. I'd asked this before, but with all the posts to this thread, I doubted anyone caught it: could I possibly run for Minister of Social Services and Welfare?

Yes. I believe I added you to the proposed cabinet list.

We've had economic policies authored, Atlanticatia has them. Otherwise, Social and Foreign Policy documents are yet to be submitted.

Does anyone know how to create an Espernet thing and we can then flesh policies out all serious like?

Also, I'd like to state that as Minister for Industry I would intend to forge a strong working relationship with the Labour Federation of Calverde, whilst also attempting to increase participation and co-operation between ourselves and the Labour Federation, to make sure that we truly represent the workers' voices, and that the trade union does likewise.

As a statement of intent I would like to put forward the following motion:

The Democratic Left will establish relations with the Labour Federation of Calverde and will move to directly back select non-revolutionary Unions within the federation.

I would also like to put forward the following motion:

The Democratic Left will establish a new party thread due to the inactivity of the owner of the original party admin account.
