Labour's.

So now we're officially out of the coalition, who wants to run for President?

Great! I don't think it's very realistic to expect to win but it's good to have a candidate we can all vote for. I nominated you in the senate so you just have to accept the nomination and then we're good to go.

I think it's time that we have elections for permanent leadership positions. These being Chairperson, Parliamentary Leader and Chief Whip. Nominations will be open for 72 hours. I will not be a candidate for a position and will hand over control to those whom are elected.

Also Ike has proposed a coalition between Labour and the NWP. I'll leave that up to you to consider.

You better improve your form and spell peoples' correctly before throwing around accusations like that.

I would like to use this occasion to inform you that you are wrong.

Peoples is the plural of people (the men, women, and children of a particular nation, community, or ethnic group), as in "the Norwegian people" or "do you hear the people sing?" or "the People's Republic of China." Its possessive form is peoples'.
Example: "The Dutch and German peoples' cultures are similar."

People is the plural of person (a human being regarded as an individual), as in "the person over there" or "a person I know from elementary school." Its possessive form is people's.
Example: "People's revulsion to the durian fruit comes from its unnatural stench."

Ike is completely correct in his usage of people's.

Also, tag.

Please go and vote for the Labour Party candidate in the chamber. It appears the NWP has decided to support us for the sake of not splitting the liberal left's vote. While we haven't made a deal with them, all the support we can get is helpful.

Was debating whether or not it was right to vote for myself, but since I've seen the other two do so, I've done the same.

I've actually won an election IRL by a singular vote so voting for yourself does matter sometimes. :p

Aye, but it doesn't feel quite right personally. I can justify it after the other two candidates have done it though.

I remember in Aurentina feeling like that. Then someone (probably from the NIFP) told me to grow a pair so I just did it -_-

If my math is correct, I believe nominations for party leadership are open for another 15 hours or so.
