Horrible person. Terrible writer. I would rather eat a copy of Walden than read it again.

Aye

Hmm...adjusting our income tax for inflation could be a sensible way to use our surplus, if we could calculate out the cost. Anyone know how we'd go about that?

Is our income tax currently flat?

Naive but well intentioned.

Teddy/Ford

In a time of war we need a world-famous diplomat. At the same time, a man with a head for business will calm markets about the ticket.

I'd say Teddy/Huges, but they're from the same state and so can't be on the same ticket.

[I'll also be shortly introducing a bill making Bretzel the official snack of the Legislature.]

Hip hip hurrah !

I've been elected as IDS Legislature Speaker, by a vote of 3 to jerryarkansas' 2. Whereas this is a close call, my adversary made it clear that he was running in order to have a contested race, and I believe that those who didn't vote for me will accept my holding the office and that we will all be working well in the House.

I'll also be shortly introducing a bill making Bretzel the official snack of the Legislature. I'll ask Andrew, our chef, what he can do in that matter, and if needed we'll hire him a Strasbourger aide.

The winds of change are a-blowin.

Congratulations again.

Congratulations Zanas.

So do we have to decide what to do with the surplus first then?

Soda, chocolate and maybe alcohol. My wallet will thank me.

It also sounds like the Japan Restoration Party hasn't collapsed entirely yet. That's a bit disappointing. What ever happened to Ozawa's group?

Florida panhandle because I kinda live there.

I thought you lived in North FL, not the Panhandle?

I'm at a college in Tallahassee. The Panhandle really is a pretty place, I'd much rather be here then anywhere in Oklahoma.

Florida panhandle because I kinda live there.

NC Yankee is the backbone of the senate, nobody could do his job better in my opinion. My only gripe with him is that he voted nay on the Freedom to Eat act

La Follette.  And don't make fun of me for it!

But...but...you make it soooooo easy.

Psychotherapist, because it makes even less sense than the others.

Are we not counting parties that win >99% in fraudulent elections? If not, then how was nobody suggested the Workers' Party of Korea?

I think we're supposed to assume that this only includes legitimately democratic elections.

On the ACTUAL major party front, outside of the "newly sprung up anti-immigration far-right party" group, The People of Freedom. It wouldn't be that bad if it didn't actually win MULTIPLE elections. Somehow. The day when Monti's people are the new face of Italian right can't come soon enough.

Going with my heart and voting Roosevelt.

I'm with you Mr. President Marokai. With the Kaiser's belligerence continuing to threaten global peace I'd only trust the man whose excellent diplomacy won him the Nobel Peace Prize, Theodore Roosevelt. Additionally, only Roosevelt would be able to push necessary progressive legislation through congress, as he did in his previous stint in office.

I like this amendment, its a good idea. But because of the weird mix-up that messed up the language I'll go with

ABSTAIN.

If he can manage to make things more user-friendly while keeping the wheels turning as he says, I see no reason why Zanas shouldn't be Speaker.

Good point Antonio.

A18 and MODU

So Lapid has now nixed a blocking coalition against Netanyahu.

So it seems that right now the right and left blocks are tied at 60-60 with 99% of the vote counted. Close elections like this are so much fun
