The Office of Former President & Senator Polnut - Deregistration

[homelycooking]

When I spoke after being given the greatest honour possible, I said that I would not forget the support that was given to me from across the Atlasian political spectrum.  The Polnut Cabinet will not be an exercise in party-political posturing.

The basis for the determinations that I have made so far are about ability, experience or promise, or in fact a combination of all of them.

I have asked Hans to stay on as Registrar-General, and Ben to stay on as Secretary of External Affairs.

I will be nominating Attorney-General Teddy as Secretary of Federal Elections.

I have also made two appointments to the Presidential Game Reform Panel - belgiansocialist and Marokai.

Further announcements will be made throughout the week.

I will accept. I also make no secret that I suggest homley for the position, and while I think he'd rather stay in his current job than become a deputy, I know that he'll make a fine addition to any cabinet when the time comes.

If confirmed by the Senate, I can also say that I will assist the RG in updating his list.

I've always been willing to drop everything for an election, real or fake. This is the only job I've actually been good at. I look forward to returning to being a productive member of Atlasia.

"homely"! You're missing a perfectly good chance to insult my physical appearance!

I was interested to note that President Polnut was one of the 69 Atlasians not to cast a ballot - where is he?

But aside from who wins and who doesn't... the turnout has been great and bodes well for the future.

Well... it's certainly been a good turnout by the standards of a summer special election, but we're still 29 votes short of the turnout achieved in June.
