No, just like (as of now) the majority of all parties except Labor.
We are the most balanced between regions, how is that strategic registration.

With Labor being the most even bewteen regions, and with Feds high points, I fail to see how Feds could acuse us labor about strategic registration, unless you think equally dispersed parties and competitve elections are bad.

Snowball point about it ensuring competitive elections is a good one, but I think strategic registration becomes a problem when a party effectively tries to "win" the game. Labor's not doing that, but I hope they don't go down that road. We didn't dissolve the JCP and RPP for nothing...

Labor is actually making the South competitive, so I congratulate them on that.  However, Snowball is quite amusing pretending Labor isn't moving their pieces around the board some.

True, I admit that there is more moving of regions with labor than other parties, but having huge majorities in 2 regions and then smaller amount of people in other is while what naturally happened, is no worse than having a equally distributed party, and while not having enough to force a majority for any region, instead has a representative from labor in every region, and if all parties had this balance, as the three main parties are close to being equal, we would have a very balanced government, where the ideally what passed would be what the average Atlasian would be want, or not be completely opposed to, would be an improvement to the game, but it is only possible if all the parties work to achieve it, therefore yelling at labor for this without considering this seems slightly unfair to this ideal, where or not it is the best, it is worth more thought than "They are moving people south, lets call it operation Cottonfield, and attack labor for it because elections in the south aren't always in favor in of us anymore". Speaking of which the merger of Bloc and Whig I feel is good for the game(and IDS in particular), but caused this to happen after labor balanced Bloc in IDS, Fed was formed and this fact
The Feds only need three more members for an absolute majority in the South.
was said, and who believes that the South was better do to the ability to push any candidate they want into office.


ps. 1 period!
