Census Bureau of Atlasia: RG Fritz

Napoleon deleted his change to the "Reality or Nothing" party, presumably so that the Progressive Union could fill his vacant seat.

OK, so Napoleon deleted his post (again) and is now attempting to register as an independent, though I'm sure he would have screen-captured his old post before doing so.  He submitted his attempt to register with the Progressive Union just in time for the RG's update so that the official record of his party status on the Census is with the P.U.

Well, I can't say he's not clever.

Statement Regarding The Liberal Party

Over the past week, I sent PM's to the 7 remaining Liberal Party members, asking them to register as something else.  Four responded by re-registering as I had asked.  One responded that he was too lazy to do it, and the other two did nothing.

With 3 registered members remaining, technically this is still a "major party" under current law.  I think it is abundantly clear there is nothing major about this party- it is defunct, and exists in name only.  I have therefore made an executive decision: this office will no longer list the Liberal Party as a major party.

(If actual party members complain, I could change my mind.)

Well, the Constitution does require you to recognize a three-member party as a "major" party, but of course it's up to you how you want to organize your Census update table. The Liberals could be categorized as "other", but still recognized as a major party, I suppose. As far as I know, it's OK to treat a major party like a minor one in this respect, so long as you are sure to consider it "major" in accordance with the Constitution.

I sympathize with your annoyance about this, though. The Constitutional amendment doesn't even require "organized political parties" to have any organization!

When I was RG, I refused to recognize voter registrations in Canada because of this:

In my interpretation, Canadian provinces are not "states".

I misunderstood your answer, when I asked the question some months ago.  In my view, "states" can be interpreted to also include provinces and territories.  We do, after all, permit registration in DC, which is not a state.

Fine. You're the boss now.

Well the prior rule was inconsistently applied.

I can't argue with this.

You have nothing to apologize for. Atlasia is indebted to you for your service.
