That's probably what we'll have to do. I have to go in 10 minutes, but can you compose and send something?

Never mind, TGs have been wired.

Reposting this with links to candidate platforms:

The LD ministry elections are hereby commenced, and all former LD members may vote. We're using a unique system, originally thought up by Soviet Canuckistan, in order to do this.

Soviet Canuckistan wrote:I have a new idea for how to elect people into ministries, instead of elections for each ministry, we should just have one elections where everyone gets as many votes as we have ministries. So if we have 5 ministry slots, each person gets five votes. Then the 5 candidates with the most votes will get to pick their ministry, with the candidate with the most votes picking first and so on. If a candidate feels like that they can't fulfill the demands of the ministries available, they can pass and then the whoever came in 6th will get a pick. This system will allow people to be in an election for more than 1 ministry so if there are two really good candidates in one race they can both get ministries with the new system instead of with the old system where only 1 got a ministry in the old system.

Example: There are 10 candidates, A-J, competing for 5 ministries. Candidates A,C,E,G,I get top 5 (in that order) with B,D,F,H,J in 6th to 10th . A picks Ministry 1, C picks Ministry 2, E picks Ministry 3. However G doesn't like Ministries 4 or 5 so they decide to pass. Thus B will get to pick. I picks Ministry 4. However B doesn't like Ministry 5 so D will get to pick. D picks Ministry 5 and the election thus concludes.

Because we have three ministries, each member is allowed to vote for three different people. You may not give multiple votes to one person, and your ballot will only be counted if you vote for three people, i.e. you can't just vote once for one person and leave it at that. Candidates may not vote.

With only a dozen minutes left and no ballots yet cast, I'm extending the LDP vote by 12 hours. My own vote, which I've needed practically 24 hours to think about, is:

Geilinor, Beta Test, Fulflood.

by **Aeken** » Mon Sep 23, 2013 6:18 pm

My votes are:

Geilinor, Beta Test, and SovCan.

(If I may vote)

We don't get to, it's only ex-LD members.

Just so everyone knows, I'm not interested in anything other than defence.

The obstructionism of the right was so fearsome :roll:

The right wing is dead. The left has no rivals.

For now. Maybe we'll actually get some stuff done during our term.

I have already written the Constitutional Amendment which will ban every party outside of our own one *nods*

The right needs to unite and needs to unite now, regardless they're constant bickering and inability to compromise and work together respectfully will have them in Opposition for months to come.

No threat

I'm curious why this seems to continue to happen over and over again.

Because the left are full of calm individuals, the right only has a few of them.

Simply put...

It's easier to unite the left than the right...

The left have a common point upon which they agree and then go further down the scale, on the right it is the other way around and it's a simple fact of the political spectrum.

Seems to be, I guess.

Interestingly, this is the opposite of many countries including the UK and Germany.

It's because we're so damn cool.

Considering that it's up for debate right now, what is the party stance on bestiality?

by **Fulflood** » Tue Sep 24, 2013 9:33 am

My advice is that the party doesn't touch abortion with a stick, not just because it might cause instability, but because RL parties often allow free votes on abortion (e.g. in the UK).

If we were to reboot the Senate as a Baltic nation, what name should the NDP have?
