Temporary Headquarters of the Labor Party (Leadership election)

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I think I will go to sleep I don't understand anything.


But seriously, who isis really running ?

- Windjammer
- TimTurner
- Peebs
- dfwlibertylover (write in)
- fhtagn (write in)

It's possible Peebs' saying one of her goals was making me chair counts as an endorsement? It's confusing. This thought in praticular was probably just wishful thinking.

[West_Midlander]

For what it's worth, I think TimTurner/Peebs as chair/vicechair would be highly agreeable!

[rpryor03]

I will be throwing my name in for party chair. As a member for only a few minutes, I believe that I bring an "Outside Nyman" view to the race that many of my opponents don't. My platform is simple.

1. Lead the Labor Party into a period of pragmatic Christian democracy that will simultaneously get attacked for being "neoliberal" but yet still win elections.
2. Appoint TimTurner as Vice Chair of Devious Plans.
3. Opening up Labor's tent. Find out there is none.
4. Buying a tent.
5. Setting up the tent.
6. Putting drinks and food in and around the tent for a party!
7. Banning all attack ads against noted elder statesman Lumine.
8. Looking for opportunities to bring more people into our fellowships.
9. Memes as campaign tools.
10. Appointing Scott Bakula as Overlord of the Labor Party.

[JustinTimeCuber]

I'll run too.

My priorities:
1. Bribing fhtagn and West_Midlander to come back (with cookies or ice cream, not decided yet)
2. Making literally anyone else chair
3. Changing the official party color by decreasing the green RGB value by 2

I'm running as well.

Unironically

Dropping out and endorsing CXSmith

One of Mike's goals was making windjammer chair, but he went on to endorse me.

Also, I support rpryor's plan to make Scott Blakula Overlord of the Labor Party.

Now this is a platform Atlasians can get behind. Keep up the good work, Rpryor!

What are you talking about? Evidently, Vicky the babysitter has earned that job!

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I'm not running for chair, but I would like to request that the party vote on whether to support the current republican form of government or change to a confederacy.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Oh my, it appears everyone has forgotten that I am in charge of this convention, and while the sky may be falling, I have no intention of permitting the groundlings to run roughshod over the bylaws. In order for nominations to be considered valid, they must be entered, seconded, and accepted by someone who was a registered member of the Labor Party at the time this thread was opened. Thus far, the list of valid nominations is:




and the list of potentially valid nominations is:

C.X. Smith         [X] Eligible   [X] Accepted   [X] Seconded
Justin Time Cuber         [X] Eligible   [  ] Accepted   [  ] Seconded
Peebs         [X] Eligible   [  ] Accepted   [  ] Seconded
Tim Turner         [X] Eligible   [X] Accepted   [X] Seconded
Windjammer         [X] Eligible   [X] Accepted   [X] Seconded

Those whose stated aim is to elect some other candidate are considered to have been nominated, but not accepted. From here on out, only explicit nominations/acceptances/seconds will be counted by the chair.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

I'll second Rpryor.

Rpryor, sadly, is ineligible, having registered with the party following the opening of the nomination period.

[JustinTimeCuber]

Seconding TimTurner and CXSmith.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

I'll second Tim, Smith, and Windjammer.

What are you talking about? Evidently, Vicky the babysitter has earned that job!

Look, Tim, I'm a centrist. Both sides do it. How about we make Vicky and Blakula co-Overlords (moderate hero)?

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

The nominations of C.X. Smith, Tim Turner, and Windjammer have been made, accepted, and seconded.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I'll second Tim, Smith, and Windjammer.

That could be a good compromise.

[Potus]

I like and respect Tim.

In filing this brief, you have implicitly endorsed and acknowledged the legitimacy of the Labor Party as the official organ for the political left. I'm afraid this makes you a socialist by association.

As the chairman of the Socialist Via Association Now Campaign, I officially declare you a socialist because you live in a state that voted for Sanders, with three of its Democratic Representatives supporting Sanders.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Since this party seems so invested in calling me a socialist, I hereby declare a write-in campaign for chair, with the goal of dissolving the labor party.

If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well
It were done quickly. If the assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
With his surcease success; that but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all here,
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
We’d jump the life to come. But in these cases
We still have judgment here, that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague th' inventor: this even-handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poisoned chalice
To our own lips.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

The fact that the acting chair is now writing nonsense poems is even more reason to dissolve the labor party.
