2020 Arvenian General Election (Completed/Endorsement/Polls)

[Arvenia]

OOC: Okay, but how would you format it?

OOC: Candidate’s picture, Name, Affiliation, etc...

OOC: That's good, but hopefully we get to see your parties and their ideologies.

OOC: Yes, I’m currently working on that. Even after I post it, it’ll probably be a work in progress for a bit until I hammer out the details.

OOC: I'd just like to say how one hell of an election thread this is. This is way better than the usual basic information and poll. If I hadn't already finished my general election, I would have modelled if off of this one (obviously with different parties).

OOC: Hey, I got four questions for you (in case your answers would greatly help me when I edit the candidates' platforms here).
Question 1: Are fiscal conservatives opposed to government subsidies?
Question 2: Which policies appear to be socially liberal?
Question 3: Which policies appear to be economically liberal?
Question 4: What views would socialism have on social issues (as oppposed to conservatism and liberalism)?

Regarding your post above, I am interested in your general election (despite the fact that you already got a factbook full of political parties). I wonder what those different parties would be.

As you know, I'm probably going to be the only person that's ever gonna answer your questions, whether you like it or not, because I have nothing else to do.
So without further ado, here are my answers:

Question 1: Well, it depends on what you're giving the subsidies to. If it's for a failing company or brand, then no as they see them as weak, but if it's for a major economic project or sector (i.e. farming), and that is failing, then they would be ok with handing over a few.
Question 2: The establishment of a welfare state (for the most part), nationalizing a few key industries and giving people extensive civil liberties within a market economy.
Question 3: Supporting a market-based economy, with strong support for private property and free trade. Economic liberalism doesn't necessarily have a strong social position.
Question 4: Socialism, for the most part, is mainly an economic ideology, so it's social views vary widely by party. Most of the time, socialists (or at least modern ones) are socially left-wing, supporting things such as gay marriage, abortion etc. However, it is possible for a socialist party to be socially conservative, but that string is less common.

In response to your question regarding my election, I didn't mean that I would have separate parties running in it, I mean't that they wouldn't be the same as yours. My current parties in the factbook would run.

Hope you find this helpful!

This was helpful.

(Alright, I’ve posted my first edits of the thread, but will probably have more to maintain and change over time. Like Anatoliyanskiy said, this is a phenomenal election thread, and I thank you for letting me model mine off of this.)

[Anatoliyanskiy]

OOC: I'd just like to point out that you should probably remove the third way as an ideology of the Christian Democratic Party, seeing as the third way is socially centre-left and fiscally centre to centre-right, meaning that the only reason it's considered ''left-wing'' is form its social views, and since the ACDP is so socially conservative, it doesn't fit in.

OOC: I had thought of removing it, but I just didn't feel the need. Now that you brought it up, I can finally remove it at least.

Heres me, at it again. I'm just asking when the election will officially be held. I know it'll be sometime in September/October, but a specific date would be nice. A good amount of parties have endorsed candidates, and manifestos are coming out. A date should be able to roughly be identified by now.

I just created manifestos for the ARP and the ASDP, respectively. I will be checking on the nations who are currently working on manifestos for both the APDM and the AGP. On the other hand, we will be holding debates as soon as possible, so the election day might arrive in October. I will be working on a manifesto for the RAP.

Thanks. Question answered. Not all parties need to have manifestos, just the largest ones.

[Dalmannia]

After entering the race for PM in his own country, popular independent Victor Rasselkopf Sr. officially and wholeheartedly endorses Michael Wang and the ASDP.

[Arvenia]

I’m planning on starting the debate thread.

[Anatoliyanskiy]

yay! it is getting close to election time and this thread was starting to die a little bit. good to see it back!

I will start a debate between leaders of the largest parties soon. Election time might be in late October (although before Halloween). Questions would be appreciated.

I second Hanshire. I’ll be looking forward to seeing your General Election Debates.

[Arvenia]

I will soon start the second debate, but I would love to see if you can ask some candidates in the first debate regarding foreign affairs.

[Arvenia]

THE SECOND DEBATE IS NOW HERE!

[La Xinga]

La xinga supports the current party, the Royal Assistance Party.

[Arvenia]

La xinga supports the current party, the Royal Assistance Party.

PM John Greatwall thanks La Xinga for supporting his party.

OOC: Go and make questions for the second debate before it ends.

[Arvenia]

Shall I end the second debate, start the third debate and put up the two first polls?

PS: The two polls includes the major candidates, while PM John Greatwall and George Santoro are automatically placed in the fourth and final poll (because they are in charge of the largest parties in my NS country). The first poll has Michael Wang, Connor Benway, Tyrone Shakullah, Misato Sugiragi, Joanne Holmes and Rayung (aka "Ray Bonson"), while the second poll has Jody Morrison, Earl Gomez, Arthur Barrow, Léon Ferdinand, Dan Gupta and Arnold Schatzmann. Both polls are simple as each one can only have three winners (who will then move forward to the fourth poll), while the third poll only can have two winners.

[Anatoliyanskiy]

Quick question here, I notice it is late in October, and you said the election would be held sometime in October. So, is that being postponed until the debates are all done or will there be a poll set up (I know the above post says something about a poll, but I do not see one anywhere.)
