Labor Party Standing Committee thread: Endorsement voting

[Fritz]

x Fritz

[Fritz]

I don't think an up-or-down vote for one candidate in a race of four candidates is appropriate, we need all the candidates on the endorsement ballot.  We should also give the others an opportunity to address this convention.

[Fritz]

Should the Labor Party field its own ticket for this Presidential election?
[X] Yes
[ ] No

If the party does not field a ticket, which other candidate should it endorse?
[3] 20RP12
[2] EarlAW
[1] Polnut
[ ] ZuWo
[ ] No endorsement

[Fritz]

Really, I don't think the first question should even be voted on.  If we have people who want to run, they should run.  If we don't, it's irrelevant.

Gay marriage has been legal in Atlasia for many years.

[Fritz]

Guys, can we get something to Dallasfan for the Introduction to Atlasia 2.0 thread?

[Fritz]

It's not unheard of for first-time office seekers to be elected to the Senate.

[Fritz]

While I am leaning towards the ticket being voted on, I am not prepared to make an endorsement at this time.

Abstain.

[Fritz]

Okay, I'm on board.

I would like to change my vote from abstain to Aye.

[Fritz]

My friends, this Presidential race is shaping up  to be one of the most competitive elections in our nations history.  Out of six declared tickets, two contain party members, and a third contains a former party member and founder.  No less than five tickets contain former JCP members, and as of this posting, four have announced that they seek our party's endorsement.

I would urge the party not to rush the endorsement process.  We are now the largest party in Atlasia, and as such, our endorsement is a valuable commodity which candidates should fight to earn.  Let us not cast our endorsement votes strictly on the basis of intangibles such as party membership and personal loyalty to friends.  At this critical moment in Atlasia, let us take the time to determine who is best equipped to face the challenges we are currently encountering.

I suggest two things: 1) that our endorsement vote be held no sooner than Memorial Day weekend, and 2) that our official party endorsement contain an endorsement for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th preferences.

Thank you,
Former President Fritz

What about 20RP12?

[Fritz]

My vote is to endorse the following, in this order:

1. Napolean
2. 20RP12
3. Tweed
4. Oakvale

[Fritz]

We need to begin endorsements and GOTV efforts.

Yes we do!

[Fritz]

I would like to know why Franzl, Bacon King, and NVTowwnsend- three very worthy candidates- have been omitted from this ballot??

I am boycotting this endorsement vote until such time as a proper and complete ballot is presented.

[Fritz]

I assume we can vote Aye as many times as we choose?
