Since all three candidates who are running are requesting our endorsement, can't we just start the voting process?

[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.

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

I would support the nationalization of transportation, iron/steel, single payer auto insurance, and energy to be taken out of the platform.
