May I request we endorse a write-in candidate for president this election, with Lumine trying to oust one of our finest members Deus, and the other candidates seem unfeasible. My preference would be Dallasfan/Spiral, but that is something I believe should be up for discussion.

[Lumine]

Good day, gentlemen,

I fully understand that my presence here is probably viewed with suspicion after me role in the proposed expulsion of Senator Deus, and yet I feel that leaving things unanswered and not commenting despite the controversy would be wrong. As I have explained earlier my motivations for my actions were based on helping the Government due to the crisis and the grave consequences all of us faced, and it was an action born out of my concern for the game, and I take responsibility for it. I can categorically state that it was not an action born out of enmity with Senator Deus or the Democratic-Republican Party.

While I will not ask for an endorsement out of respect to the disappointment of many of you, I do wish to set the record straight and hope that once the election comes I will be able to count on a high preference if possible. It's pretty evident that we have our differences in some areas of policy, but I also feel there's a lot of ground in common, especially with the concerns of how the economy has been handled, the rise of regulations that harm small business and the past attempt at nationalization.

Having worked with many of you in the past and having several friends in this party, I would hate to see this becoming a massive obstacle for us to work together to find a solution to the crisis we face and the issues we have to solve, regardless of whether I win or lose by the time election day comes.

Thank you very much.

I similarly am under no illusion that I could get this party's endorsement, but if nothing else I hope to impress on you all that I have a very strong desire for honest, open cooperation with all sorts. I've been on the Right, and I've been on the Left, and have formed friendships on all sides. People should be free to express even unpopular sentiments and be given sincere consideration and still be treated as an equal working partner. I stand very strongly for this.

With me, what you see is what you get, and so I suppose your mileage may vary. Nevertheless, I hope for your honest consideration when election day comes. I do not support nationalization, I do not wish to crush business under the weight of social obligations that belong elsewhere, and I do not believe in prying in people's personal lives unless to prevent harm. These and other values are things I believe we share.

I'll leave you all to your business, as I dislike buttering people up and this often comes back to bite me, but if any of you would like to chat, I'll always enjoy doing so. I will give you all the time and respect I can muster, and I hope you can all believe that I will not say one thing to your faces, and another behind your back whenever I get a little tipsy or whatever. Your opinions mean as much to me as anyone else's.

Thanks and take care.

Hello

I would like to ask for your party's endorsement for the Hands Off ticket in the Presidential race.

The main philosophy is the autonomy of the centers of decisions that are the regions and the senate.

I want to avoid the regions to always have to submit to Nyman. That means if the regions decide to make a law, Nyman doesn't suddenly wake up and decides it doesn't like it, it's not good and want to make a federal law that void the regional law. I call this empowering the regions so the assemblies have their full purpose.

Besides regional autonomy, under my term I propose Senate autonomy. I have decided to let the Senate legislate. It usually has enough bills in the queue to be busy. My involvement in the legislative process is more an ordinary citizen giving its opinion. I will let the Senate pass the laws except in very few cases.

I hope in giving this kind of autonomy to centre of decisions, the office holders in them will get more satisfaction and not be unhappy that another body tries to undo what they have agreed to and adopted as law. I want to avoid fights and gridlock and the game to be more enjoyable.

Another Hands Off philosophy concerns international relations. My administration will be very prudent in involving the country in foreign conflicts. I am not planning to intervene in other countries affairs unless there is blatant harm to our country.

I believe in Hands Off players. Players should have political freedom and freedom of expression. I'm not a fan of banning or silencing players. We don't need to lose more players. We need more people to be active and try to accept who they are. 

Finally if this is not enough, I have one word to try to convince you: shua.
I hope you will consider endorsing the Poirot / shua ticket.

Thank you kindly.

I'd like to ask for your endorsement in the Northeast gubernatorial election. As you can tell, I have been committed to personal liberty throughout my career as an Assemblyman, and will never stray from that conviction as long as I hold office. I am also firmly fighting against the matter of regional consolidation and bicameralism, as this would result in a complete facelift of the regional system. I do not want people like hifly imposing his values on me, as he does not want people like me imposing my values on him. Consolidation simply will destroy the great liberty-loving culture of the Northeast, and I am here to ask for your endorsement in this very important race.

Hands Off Ticket sounds good, ftr.
