My little pony president

[Phocidaea]

Twilight Sparkle is dominating current poll trends in the Pony Party Primaries.

Oh, come on. Fluttershy would have weak foreign policy and waste excessive amounts of money on the NPS, and push through dangerous, extreme animal rights legislation!

Do you want this tree-hugging hippie running the country?

[Shofercia]

None of the above. Vote Risottia - he's a Soviet Pony!

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

I think Twilight Sparkle would do a good president. She seems to have a good head upon her 'shoulders'.

NSG, where people argue who's dominating the PPP

[Rocopurr]

Twilight Sparkle with Fluttershy as VP.

[Neu California]

Fluttershy for shits, giggles, and environmentalism

Also, wouldn't Pinkie Pie and Applejack be gaffe machines? The former is loony and the latter is way too honest to be politcally capable.

Didn't Twilight make a good leader in "Winter Wrap-up"?

Looks like you guys are picking Twilight Sparkle the most but the polls just begun. Stay alert on this thread for updates on new threads, poll activities/updates, and news of the pony 2012 election. reminder that in three weeks, the first round will be over, the pony with the lowest votes will be drop out, and move to round two. i will probably change the name again to something simple like "My little pony president 2". KEEP VOTING, this land will be run by somepony, and you have equal say of who it is.

[Risottia]

None of the above. Vote Risottia - he's a Soviet Pony!

I humbly accept your nomination.

[Risottia]

PP! Her campaign promises are cake and parties! And she is likely to deliver!

Bit Berlusconist.

[Ovisterra]

In order of suitability:

-Twilight (organised, smart)
-Applejack (sensible in general)
-Rarity (Also fairly sensible, if a little vain and melodramatic)
-Dashie (A bit too egotistical and lazy)
-Fluttershy (Way too shy and easily intimidated. Mind you, if they managed to properly piss her off...)
-Pinkie (Oh god no. Didn't you read FoE?)

[Gauthier]

And the winner can run with Vermin Supreme, who pledges Free Ponies For Everyone.

I second this.

[Genivaria]

*expecting this to get merged into the Pony thread*

Obviously Twilight Sparkle. Progress through checklists.

Applejack for VP.

Applejack is President of the Farmer's Union.

Excuse the pony ignorance, but isn't Princess Celestia supposed to be the one in charge?

[Celebrity Sex Scandal]

OPINION: Fluttershy is best pony.
FACT: Fluttershy is best pony.

[Pope Joan]

Pinkie Pie expresses excellent socialization skills, possesses Pinkie Sense (perhaps it warns about shitty policies or economic collapse as well?), is greatly concerned with the happiness and well-being of others, is well-prepared for the unexpected, and generally has quite exceptional knowledge over a wide range of subjects.

While Twilight may be well organized and quite intelligent, her common sense has proven to be...lacking. Her difficulty socializing would also serve as a major problem in this profession, and she has repeatedly displayed completely irrational behavior upon being subjected to extensive pressure, often making the problems worse. If she almost destroys Ponyville because she is late on her report to the Princess, I can't even begin to imagine the horrors she would unleash when subjected to the stresses of being President.

Cupcakes are critical for the economy as well :nods:

Yes princes celestia was the ruler of equestria, but the majority of the ponies did not want to live under a monarchy anymore after a wise philosophic pony ask the question "Why cant we work together towards a better tomorrow? We dont really want what the Queen say we want, she is not us"! After weeks of argument and debating, the ponies agreed on a direct republic goverment system (to satisfy the ponies that want freedom but to feel like there still under a monarchy "witch still gives them a feeling of security") Becauses the six main ponies saved equestria twice, they where begged to run as there first pony pony president. Celestia and Luna did not like this new goverment philosophy the ponies adopted at first, but step down as Celestia wanted her ponies to be happy. Both sisters say before leaving "We will be your night and day, your guardian angels, and your friends".

I am finalizing my nomination:
Twilight Sparkle for President; Applejack for Vice President

(Rainbow Dash for Defense or Homeland Security, Pinkie Pie for Interior or Transportation, Rarity for Justice or Treasury, Fluttershy for Agriculture or Health and Human Services)
