[Greater Americania]

What is the Platform of the National Party?

[Kylarnatia]

Kylarnatia has voted for the royal party.

[Palmouth]

Labour and Liberal is a dictator party.

[Palmouth]

What do you mean of Platfrom

[Greater Americania]

What do you mean of Platfrom

What's their platform? What do they stand for? What are their stances on the issues?

[Palmouth]

They stand of Demoracy in Palmouth

[Greater Americania]

And that differs from the other parties, how?

[Jimanistan]

OOC: Why would a liberal party be dictator-esque?
You've lost me with this, Comrade...

[Palmouth]

Yes, the Royal Party and the Palmpouth National Party are Communism and Labour and Liberal is dictorship

[Greater Americania]

OOC: You do realize that in real life a National Party would aim for Authoritarian or Democratic Nationalism, right? The Royal party would be Monarchist or Constitutional Monarchist and the Liberal/Labor Party would support Social Democracy.

[Jimanistan]

Yes, the Royal Party and the Palmpouth National Party are Communism and Labour and Liberal is dictorship

OOC: Yes, but I asked "why?"

I don't see why any party describing itself as Liberal would be in favor of a dictatorship...

[Palmouth]

Unfortuately, the names were chosen at random.

[Fatatatutti]

Yes, the Royal Party and the Palmpouth National Party are Communism and Labour and Liberal is dictorship

So this is Backwards Day?

You need to outline where the parties stand on specific issues - e.g. Who is pro-union and who is anti-union? Who wants to subsidize businesses? Who wants higher or lower taxes? Who wants to spend more on the military? Who wants to spend more or less on policing? Who's for or against welfare? Who's for or against capital punishment?

[Palmouth]

Hmm, the King said "My party is a Monarchist, The National Party is Authoritarian and the Labour/Liberal is Social Demoracy, the spokesmen is wrong"?

[Chetssaland]

Why I dont get is why other countries are voting on this. Why not have your people vote?

[Delaclava]

I can't believe that twelve people would actually be bored enough to vote for this.

[Grittonia]

Grittonia wishes to send 10mil. to Labour and Liberal for their campaign.

[Palmouth]

OOC: The countries represent the people in this one, other countries have let all countries vote in theirs.

[Palmouth]

Labour and Liberal (Social Demoracy) and The Palmouth National Party (Authoritarian) are joint leaders at the moment with 8 members in Paralment.

[Fatatatutti]

I can't believe that twelve people would actually be bored enough to vote for this.

I can't believe that twelve people would vote based on nothing but the name of the party (which is admitted to be random). Do they read a book based on the colour of its cover?

[Palmouth]

The Labour/Liberal Party would issue with everything and would follow advise before doing anything, the Royal Party makes it's leader do the decisions, but he focuses on the people as well, the Demoratic Party focuses on it's people and the National Party just sits back and let it all go worse before making things right .

However here is a poll from journalists in Palmouth saying who should win:

1st) Labour/Liberal 40%
2nd) Royal Party 30 %
3rd Palmouth Demoratic Party 20 %
4th Palmouth National Party 10%

That's better but they still need to take specific positions on specific issues. Leadership style doesn't mean much to voters. They want to know what the parties plan to do and how it will effect their lives.

[Merieu]

I'm assuming the Labour and Liberal party would be a more left-wing choice? And I agree, people don't vote for someone if they don't know what they stand for... well, people who aren't in America anyways. While most people blindly voted for Obama, they failed to realise that he didn't actually address any issues, and because of this, most have failed to realise that he's actually done less good for the economy than Bush had done in his 8 years of presidency.
