BALLOT RESULTS

In a unanimous vote, both HagridOfTheDeep and PiT will remain in their leadership positions for another term. Since they passed the referendum, no leadership election will be held.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

If anyone wants our endorsement for anything, might as well come in and make your pitch. We've got some time.

Also, I guess I'll open the floor if any Federalists want to say anything. I, for one, would like to give my full congrats to Matt for his impressive election victory! Stunning performance.

[Maxwell]

Unless there is someone that decides to run of our party, I would like the party to endorse SJoyce for Emperor in IDS.

[Sopranos Republican]

Thank You Chairman!

Unless there is someone that decides to run of our party, I would like the party to endorse SJoyce for Emperor in IDS.

I second this.

[Goldwater]

I third the motion to endorse SJoyce.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

I concur... SJoyce- even though he may not be a party member any longer- was one of the founders of our party

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I would also like to congratulate our new Senator, Matt on his impressive victory.  It certainly won't be easy to defend all three of our Senate seats, but I believe we can do it!

[Napoleon]

I would like to apply for the Federalist Party's endorsement in my campaign for reelection. I've enjoyed working with the Federalist Senators and I think we have some common values, such as the tax cut I have proposed for working families. While we all know that we won't see eye to eye on every issue, I've been an undeniably active Senator interested in the actual policy debates, and committee work, and if I am reelected I can continue doing that. Thank you for considering my candidacy and allowing me to speak.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

I would like to speak in favor of Napoleon- I was one of his most bitter rivals and we disagreed politically and personally in the past, but those times are long gone. He is perhaps the most active Senator and is willing to find consensus with Hagrid,Matt, and me in the Senate... I urge my fellow Federalists to be open to supporting him alongside our Hagrid and Matt

[Oldiesfreak1854]

As long as another Federalist doesn't run for the Senate, I would certainly be open to endorsing Napoleon as well.

[ZuWo]

Senator X also asked for our endorsement, for what it's worth.

[Sopranos Republican]

I would like to advocate for my good friend Napoleon. He's quite possibly been our most active Senator, and he's worthy of our endorsement. Even if some here have had rivalries with him, and we may not always see eye to eye, he definitely deserves to reelected, as he is someone who always tries to make this game better. We have three endorsement slots correct? With Clarence not running, I believe Senator Napoleon should fill that third spot. If we had a fourth spot, I would gladly vote for Mr. X or Alfred, and I certainly wouldn't mind to see either of them in the 55th Senate, but as it stands I actually believe out of the three, Napoleon is closest to our platform.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Indeed, with clarence not running we do actually have an empty spot. The intention was that nine times out of ten, that spot would automatically be filled by a declared Federalist. It looks like the current situation is that one time out of ten where that's not the case.

So yes, any non-Federalist candidate running for the senate at large who wants our endorsement should pay us a visit relatively soon. Mr. X has already dropped by, so if Senator Napoleon does want to be considered, I'd encourage him to stop in as well.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I would certainly be open to endorsing Mr. X as well.  I'd like to hear Napoleon and him make their cases before I make a decision.

[ZuWo]

I don't think we should endorse Napoleon. He doesn't have a high opinion of us and our party:

Party name from the 1790s and policies from the 1920s. Joy.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I plan on voting for Mr. X.  Although I'm not sure that I think the party should endorse him... I'm on the fence.  But he's the only candidate I'd consider endorsing as a party.

[Maxwell]

I think just having our two candidates is fine. If there is any candidate that I'd endorse based on their qualifications and how much work their willing to do, it's between Napoleon or MaxQue, though due to his introduction, I am leaning MaxQue, though I may be biased.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

How important is it to us to keep all three seats? Shouldn't we consider that?

[Maxwell]

How important is it to us to keep all three seats? Shouldn't we consider that?

Clarence dropped out, so we only have two seats to hold.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Part of the reason why clarence dropped out was to avoid us the embarrassment of losing a seat. Honestly, winning three seats was going to be incredibly tough, and I'm not afraid to say it for everyone to hear. Also, had we run the three of us, there could have been some in-fighting that just wouldn't have been good for the party. So that's why I'm not too concerned that we'll be "losing" a seat in the senate. That we even had that seat in the first place was a real blessing.

On the matter of who to endorse, I don't think I'll be voting for anyone. During a normal cycle, we wouldn't even be having this conversation because our two endorsement slots would've been filled by Federalists. Since it has ended up that we're only running two Federalists anyway, I just don't really see a reason to endorse anyone else. We could sit here and let the spectre of Napoleon divide us, or we could just run our candidates and do our best to help them win. As someone with a real stake in the race, I'd prefer the latter. Why muddle things?

(To clarify, we'll still be having a vote, likely early next week, but I'll be voting for "none of the above.")
