Social Democratic Party Convention

[Hatman 🍁]

I personally prefer the current name. Sure, it's not very original, but it does say right away what ideology it is, and I think that's important. Labour Party is a good name too, but we'll never agree on the spelling of Labo(u)r.

I'm running for Senator, so Xahar you can withdraw for running from Senate.

It's too late for either of those things to happen.

The Seisei's opinion of our party was not very good at the beginning.

Thank the possibly existent higher power for this.

I hope than he changed his opinion of us.

I have no negative opinion towards this party and never have. There are many members of this party that I hold in very high esteem.

While others you hold in low esteem.

but those a few and far between. I can say for sure that the distinguished SoFA is not one I hold in low esteem.

Screw you Sensei! (how about now?) j/k

Anyways, I vote to endorse Al, Xahar, hannibal, Sensei and I suppose Jas.

I've been getting a few PMs to run, but I have a job now guys.

It's not a problem if these jobs are acclaimed, I really hate voting in these, because I love you all so very much

Sentiments echoed. (Including an Atlasian job - but I suppose that's what you meant anyways, right Earl? )
No need to be sorry though, DC.

I was referring to my job as SoFA, yes. That's why I didn't run the Progressive Primary this season.

Did I dream another ballot around 10h30 PM PT?
