Labor Party Standing Committee - FAREWELL

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

So there is still no Labor candidate who is running in the Special Election?

There is now! Also, welcome to the best party ever!

Also, I'd strongly consider abstaining if Snowstalker was the nominee (then again, I don't know if your positions on Atlasia are the same as your positions off of it).

My actual positions in Atlasia (which probably better reflect me than my forum rhetoric) have always been somewhat more pragmatic/moderate, FYI.

Cool. The last time I remember you was when you lost the April 2012 election to wormyguy and quit for a while, but I seem to recall you came back and did stuff after that, no?

I served a couple Senate terms and was the Labor nominee for President in October 2012, so you could say that.

Oh, yeah, that.

What great news! Atlasia is looking into a shining bright future!

Damn right son! Looking forward to another two-week term as At-Large Senator (although the polls seem to be saying otherwise)!

Those polls are made of extreme fascist right-wingers, who just fear a victory of the right candidate, and want to make you unsure! Never believe them, or you have already lost! Fight your fight against extreme right-wing policies and fascists!

Thank you for the kind words. Now go vote, young man!

Not sure those words are so kind when you're calling the opposition fascists willy nilly.

That was meant to be a joke, but I'm sorry if I have offended you or someone else. Just a joke, really. I know you aren't fascists

Most of them, anyway .

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Deus won you lost. Accept your defeat.

Were the polls skewed?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Nice to see that I sort of cast the deciding preference for Alfred. Thank God we don't have the libertarian in the senate.

I'm almost at the point of full regret
Regarding victory and your aid in't,
But only almost. And remember that
Since the election went down to the wire,
A near majority of us could say that they
Did cast the Senator-deciding vote.

Then you should resign your seat and I'll remember to vote for your opponent next time.

I didn't say "completely", friend, just "almost";
I don't intend to quit while I'm ahead
Because your social views appall me so,
E'en though you seem to now regret your vote.

Please stop doing this.

No.

I shall abstain, so that it may be known
That, while Flo is a good progressive gent
And generally supportive of our goals,
I do have qualms about his past positions:
Namely, the ones about not being in Labor.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

DemPGH has been a liberal for a long time before becoming a Labor...

That was a long time ago, ftr.

For sure. Then, you've entered on Labor, left it, stayed a good time on the Progressive Union and returned to Labor. What I'm trying to say is that Alfred concern shouldn't apply only for Flo...

Are you even a Laborite, Superique?
I seem to recall I detested you
Because you were in one of Mr. PJ's
Atrocious Moderate Hero parties once.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I'm not complaining about you being a fit for the Labor Party, DemPGH, I have a strong respect for you. What I can't fully understand is questioning Flo leftists credentials and, since Labor is known to be the "great-tent-center-leftist-party", Flo shouldn't receive such a treatment. I've not seen that Alfred abstained either...

Now, regarding to the beautiful Mr. Alfred Jones, I have not ever had a Conversation with you at once. So, I believe that you don't have enough material to detest me. I've rarely been involved on those sort of partisan fights that we usually see in Atlasia, I've even given my Second Preference for you during the campaign trail and I just hate when someone attack me without a single and reasonable reason to do so. I shall ask you to retreat from your comments and I shall call for more respect in this Game.

I do respect you, Mr. Superique,
But I'd like to point out that I abstained:

I shall abstain, so that it may be known
That, while Flo is a good progressive gent
And generally supportive of our goals,
I do have qualms about his past positions:
Namely, the ones about not being in Labor.

And furthermore, I'd like to dissipate
All enmity we have between ourselves.
However, I don't tend to like third parties
Existing for their own sake, or to be
Those Moderate Heroes I know we all despise
(Or do we now? A good question for some)
And, preaching Labor's policies, deny
Their Labor-ness, and thusly split the left.
If I have time, then I may later seek
Some instances in which we've disagreed,
But that will have to be for later times.

It is not my desire to intrude in this primary nor to be rude, but I wish to ask Senator Alfred to withdraw his comments on PJ (who is after all not in Atlasia anymore) and the Progressive Union (as I understand that comment to be directed at it).

As Mr. William Faulkner's said before,
The past is never dead, not even past.
I stand by my remarks, as they are true.
