I would remind the voters of the Midwest that, whatever the fanciful rhetoric and whatever moderate posture the former IDS resident would like to stake out, his record is ultimately one of conservatism and backwards-thinking.

You've been using this kind of attack against actually moderate Federalists for months, if not years. So how is this still a thing?

Congratulations on your rethorical creativity Wink

You don't understand that from TNF's POV, it doesn't matter whether you're a moderate or extreme Federalist,  you stand for the antithesis of what TNF is trying to accomplish.

So it doesn't matter what kind of Federalist you are, he's going to be vehemently against your party and all your candidates. It's very simple.

I've seen many members of his own party doing exactly the opposite to what he is trying to accomplish. He's remained in silence on that.

The facts about your party: that it is not the united socialist front that you and TNF claim it (and wish it) to be.

I am not going to endorse any candidate in any Regional Senate Election, as it could very well happen that the ones I did not endorse are elected; but still, I want to say that you have been an incredibly active and encouraged Senator on constant levels for an incredibly long time, and even though we disagree on many points, it has been a pleasure working with you all these months.

ALL ABOARD THE RED SPECIAL!


Comrades, I'm pleased to announce the beginning of my very own whistle-stop tour across the Midwest. The train I'll be taking, The Red Special, is itself named after the very train that Eugene Debs rode across the country during the momentous Presidential Election of 1908. This train is an update, however - it is built with 100% unionized, cooperative labor out of our very own Midwestern train cooperative factories and its crew manages its own work without the need for management - a great example for us all of how our future society should and must be structured if we are to avoid the capitalist abyss.

Stay tuned as we roll into a city near you and present the outline of the socialist agenda for Atlasia! And feel free to join me in the smoking car for Full Bongmmunism, a special smoke session with yours truly and the comrades of the Nat Turner Brigade.

WHAT DOES REAL DEMOCRACY LOOK LIKE?
A discussion on the democratization of Atlasian politics

Comrades, I address those of you joining us today on the ongoing struggle to more fully democratize Atlasian politics. As of late, our lameduck administration has continued in its efforts to undermine the democratic character of our constitution, hard-fought over several generations and constant struggle, by expanding the power of the executive and proposing the outright gerrymandering of the Senate - to the benefit, of course, of his failed political party and its backers on Wall Street.

I have consistently sought a different path. In the past I have advocated the right of recall, term limits, and even parliamentarianism. Today I'd like to reiterate some of what I have supported in the past and expound new ideas to make our nation more democratic and more responsive than it has been thus far.

First and foremost, the biggest impediment to genuine democracy in Atlasia continues to be the separation of executive and legislative powers into two branches. The President is an elected monarch in all but name, with the ability to veto legislation on his own whim or even propose wholescale revisions of legislation presented to him by the Congress by means of the Presidential re-draft process. He has the ability to arbitrarily commit troops abroad without Senatorial approval for pre-approved times and has the ability to nominate the most powerful office in the game itself, the Game Moderator. The cabinet, although in theory accountable to the Senate, serves at the whim of the President. I propose tearing down this imposition of divided powers by moving that the Presidency, the Vice Presidency, the Cabinet, and all executive agencies and functions be abolished and their powers transferred to the Senate. The Senate, as the sole representative of the Atlasian people as a whole, should legislate and should carry out that which it has legislated. I am a known enemy of the committee system, but nonetheless, I favor one committee to be established in place of the formal executive branch, and that would be a National Executive Committee elected by the Senate, which would constitute those aforementioned abolished posts and agencies.

I oppose the introduction of bi-cameralism in all of its forms. Unicameralism is the most democratic means of government and the means of government most likely to deliver the public that which it demands via the vote. I do, however, support the expansion of the Senate on the basis of proportionality, with one Senator representing every 20 voters. This would expand the Senate from the current 10 Senators to 12, and would allow the Senate to grow in size and shape to meet the demands of the growing electorate. I propose that we abolish the regional election of Senators and the at-large election of Senators, replacing both with the election of the Senate in special electoral districts consisting of five states each. These special districts would be proposed by the public itself, and then be approved in an official ballot every second year after their initial creation. To fill these districts, random registration would be adopted so as not to pack too many members of this or that party in one district, to provide for competitive elections. Districts would likewise be limited to 20 voters each, and those voters would be randomly re-assigned to new districts every sixth month after their initial registration.

The Regions should be abolished outright and be replaced by District Assemblies, elected from among the members registered in the districts. District Assemblies should function in much the same way as Regional Assemblies, but should also have the ability to recall members of the Senate representing them at any time and host a special election for a replacement.

These are just a few of the ideas I have for game reform. Stay tuned!

What a delightful idea!  I think the idea of forcing residents to move around is silly-in-a-bad-way, but otherwise it seems fun.  Endorsed wholeheartedly.
