[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Yay Nix! And Oak, too.

[Adam Griffin]

The voting booth for the October 2012 General Election is now open.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Turn out for SnowDalgo!

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Go Snow!

[Barnes]

I will be sending out official reminders to all party members.

[Zanas]

Hey comrades. Time for a little debrief of the elections. We had a solid showing in the Presidential race, where our 3 candidates made it to the last round. The South is now our stronghold, where Snowdalgo hit 65 % (!!!), hitting also a sweet 40 % in the Mideast. We only got a quarter of the votes in the other three regions, but we have otherwise no real weak spot.

However, we lost a Northeast MP, and failed to gain the one we hoped for in the South, even if it was a bit of a longshot. With our voter registration soaring in the South though, I think one of our main goals should be to get the most out of our positions in the South. There is an upcoming election as Speaker of our IDS Legislature, and SJoyceFla declared. I liked Jbrase, but SJoyceFla is much more complicated to work with, and I fear a little when he'll have the hand on the Assembly's agenda... We have 2 Bloc MPs, 2 Labor, and Duke. I just saw this instant that Griffin declared as well. So we'll have to seduce Duke to have the seat. I don't know Adam if you really want this office hard or if it's just in order to give SJoyceFla an opponent, but if it's explained to me by previous holders I would be ready to run for Speaker myself.

I'll let our comrades from other Regions do their own debrief.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

The Northeast is now TPP-controlled . I might consider moving to the Pacific or Midwest eventually, to pick up activity. Especially the Pacific.

[Northeast Rep Snowball]

Don't move yet, we'll lose our labor speaker and lt governor, also, most of the TPP are exlaborites and liberals.

Excellent analysis, Zanas. Here's a (brief) outline of what Speaker does in the IDS Legislature:

The Northeast is now TPP-controlled . I might consider moving to the Pacific or Midwest eventually, to pick up activity. Especially the Pacific.

Hold down the fort as Speaker while you can!

I'd also like to congratulate JulioMadrid, Barnes, Alfred (and myself?) for either holding onto their seats or in Julio's case, becoming a newly-elected Senator. I'd also like to thank bore for running a strong campaign; you should have won a seat! No doubt with all the realignment afoot, there was bound to be an upset here and there. I'm sure you'll either return to the Assembly or move on to bigger and better things at some point in the future.

[Barnes]

I expected the results for president failry quickly - we had nice turnout, but our voters were unable to hold the party line; understandable in this election with Napoleon being such a popular candidate, but I believe the politburo should look into ways to improve our whip in the interrgnum between elections.

All in all, we showed our effectivness as voters - but not perhaps as a voting block.

I'd be interested to hear what part of my record Labor opposes. Is it the education reform, the drilling restrictions, my campaign promise to repeal parts of the Right-To-Work law, making it easier to repeal representatives, the agriculture thing you guys proposed, creating basic standards of humanity for animal breeding, attempting to create a chain of regional parks/protected areas, or my infrastructure proposals? The only times I can recall being adamantly opposed to Labor proposals were on the National University bill (which was eventually resolved in a manner I found somewhat satisfactory) and Operation Cottonfield.

[Zanas]

I just moved in when we started to disagree then... We'll see about that in the future.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Why don't y'all relax, take a load off'n your feet and sit for a spell?

[Gass3268]

I believe it's time to start working on the party platform. Vice Chair Marokai Blue and two appointed party members will make up the platform committee.

I agree. While another (or the same) platform will need to be adopted at the convention in February, we need to have an established platform in preparation for the convention.

[Zanas]

I'm proposing to join our Vice Chairman in the Committee that will establish this platform, if he judges me fit for the work.

I also think we should take a real look at the figures of the recent election to see our real potential in each Region and therefore for each position that will be up for election in the coming weeks and months. We need to function as a Party a bit more seriously and frequently, and to establish a proactive strategy for these kinds of things : who can run for what, for which purposes, with which campaigning workforce and prospects, etc.
