Just reposting this here, but as Flo is seeking the Pacific Senate seat in spite of the fact that Labor has already endorsed Tyrion for the seat, I wanted to note that he is barred from holding or running for office in the Politburo, being endorsed by Labor, or accessing the Labor primaries for the next three federal elections.

1. Honolulu

2. Seattle

I think I can only vote for one, and I love warm weather, but I love Seattle too. Tongue

[CON] Since there were only 3 cities that were mentioned more than once during the location nomination period, those will be the 3 cities according to the by-laws that we vote upon. This vote will last for 24 hours.

I will be posting the revised platform at some point today, but I want to know if it is possible for us to revise the bylaws to prevent Labor from being used as a vehicle for election by certain persons, and then being dropped the minute Labor is no longer convenient to that person. Flo has joined and left Labor twice now, and is now conducting a campaign against Tyrion, who has already been endorsed by the party. I think that, given his total blatant disregard for our party, it's rules, and it's structure, Flo should not in any future race be allowed to use our ballot line, but that's just me.

I think we should have a discussion on the public ownership planks.

I understand the case for public ownership of the electrical grid, but I'm less aware of why nationalizing energy production would be a good idea, particularly as distributed generation (e.g. solar panels on the roof of a residence) becomes more prevalent.

Public ownership of transportation also leaves me confused. I don't have even a general sense of how that would be implemented or what it would entail. Does this mean nationalizing transportation networks only, or would it mean taking over everything from airlines to shipping?

Also, what problem would public ownership of iron and steel solve? Is there any evidence that the shortages of these materials have limited domestic production?



I'm also concerned about single-payer auto insurance creating perverse incentives. Wouldn't this policy benefit people with vehicles at the expense of those without them? And wouldn't benefit people with more expensive vehicles over those with cheaper vehicles?

Seconded

If it's clear that Senator Tyrion loses his seat to Superique because of the spoiler third party, Labor candidate, then I would back that idea. If Tyrion loses, the Labor majority in the Senate is history. TBF though, this would only be Flo's second strike and he only technically left the party once to face another Laborite (he's technically running a write-in campaign, but the Census still labels Flo of the Labor Party).

I'm actually running a real campaign, not a write-in campaign Tongue
