Glad to see my handpicked successor won!

ATTENTION FREMONTERS

We currently have a vacancy in Parliament due to the deregistration of MP Thunder98.  Please PM me if you have any interest in serving for the rest of the session.

There's a special...

[YE]

Endorsed.

[YE]

Congratulations on your reelection! I'm looking forward to working with you again in the next parliament.

[YE]

Wow, four candidates so far for the interim vacancy!  Keep 'em coming!

Four??

[YE]

Endorsed as always.

Enlightened_Centrist420 is banned as Texarana's sock.

Nothing gets past Virginia.

Can the First Minister confirm whether or not this means Enlightened Centrist, as a banned user, is disqualified from the ballot and thus all votes for them are invalid?
And can the First Minister also explain why he came to the decision to appoint Enlightened Centrist to the vacancy in the first place, given in addition to being a sock of a banned poster he showed no interest in the game and was totally inactive for his brief stint as an MP?
And will the First Minister be more careful in future, and will he give more detailed consideration to whom he appoints to parliamentary vacancies?

No one knew he was a sock until last night.

I know that, my point is, why was someone of such poor character to be later revealed as a sock appointed to a seat in Parliament? It isn't as if there's a shortage of normal left-wingers in Fremont.

There is, actually, a lack of newer players on the rolls. Most normal left wingers have held office before and are likely too busy or burnt out to do more than vote.

And instead the FM appointed a newbie who didn't even vote at all in Parliament. I don't see how that's in any way an improvement.

Giving a new player a chance to get their feet wet, especially since Fremont is lacking in such, is on balance a good thing.

Pericles hasn't resigned yet (and he isn't required to until he's elected outright).
